Wrist Friendly Chocolate Fudge

From the Kitchen of:  Pepper
Source:  Mississippi Press Register December 1998

This is a cheating version of fudge; requires no beating and it doesn't get grainy. The marshmallows are not OPTIONAL; they are melted into the fudge to provide essential body. SO DON'T LEAVE THEM OUT! The raisins are optional but a nice surprise.

Butter an 8" square pan and set aside. In a saucepan, combine butter, evaporated milk, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat; stirring occasionally. Boil 4 to 5 minutes (stir constantly while boiling). Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallows, chocolate and vanilla. Stir well for 1 minute or until marshmallows melt and are fully blended. Stir in the nuts and raisins. Pour into prepared pan. Cool about 2 hours. Cut into 1" squares. Store covered.
