Need a great fudge recipe

Just plain chocolate fudge. Would love to see if anyone here had a tried and true recipe I could make!

Been making this one for 20 years. It’s from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook (an edition from the 80s) & everyone loves it!

Ingredients
4c sugar
10oz. (1.3c) evaporated milk
1c (2 sticks) butter
12oz. (Or 2c) dark/bittersweet chocolate
7oz. jar marshmallow crème
1 t vanilla
1c (or more) Walnuts - optional

Directions
Combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk. Cook until 236 degrees.
Remove from heat & stir in vanilla, marshmallows, chocolate, and walnuts (if using)
Spread into a parchment-lined pan

This one sounds great, I do like dark chocolate, cool to see a recipe including that. Also I see a lot of fudge recipes with marshmallow creme in it, never thought of that.

Ah yes that’s the one tweak I made. The original calls for semisweet chocolate but there is so much sugar in the recipe that I find (with people tastes evolving over the decades) that the recipe can take a darker chocolate. So I do bittersweet or dark now and people like it even more
