When you think of the Eisenhowers, you probably think about a family who completely embodied everything about the 1950s. When she wasn’t keeping the White House in order, Mamie Eisenhower loved to whip up sweet treats. One of her favorite dessert recipes, “Million Dollar Fudge,” came from a clipping in a periodical she found. And so, her famous chocolate fudge was born. Thanks to The Daily Beast for sharing this information and recipe with us!
To make Mamie Eisenhower’s Million Dollar Fudge, you will need:
4 1/2 cups of sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of butter
1 tall can of evaporated milk
12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate bits

1 pint of marshmallow cream
2 cups of nutmeats
Directions:
