This version makes a nice soft fudge, rich in raspberry flavor.
Ingredients You'll Need
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) margarine or butter
1 5-ounce can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk
1 7-ounce jar Marshmallow Cream
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 drops Raspberry Flavoring
Directions
Lightly grease a 13-x9-inch or 9-inch square pan.
Mix margarine or butter, sugar and milk in a heavy 3-quart saucepan; bring to a full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly.
Continue boiling 5 minutes on medium heat or until candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
High Altitude: Decrease recommended temperature (234°F) 2 degrees for every 1,000 feet above sea level.
Gradually stir in chocolate chips until melted. Remove from heat.
Add all remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pour into prepared pan.
