Although Mamie was not known for her culinary prowess, she did earn fame for her sumptuous fudge, which Ike named and often enjoyed.
======================================================= ================ Heat the sugar, butter, salt, and evaporated milk over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil for 6 min. Put chocolate bits, German chocolate, marshmallow cream, and nutmeats in a bowl. Pour the boiling syrup over the ingredients. Beat until the chocolate is all melted, then pour in a pan. Let stand for a few hours before cutting. Remember, it is better the second day. Store in a tin box.
