Description

A rich, creamy fudge made from sugar and Carnation milk cooked together, then poured hot over a bowl of chopped pecans, marshmallow cream, and three packages of chocolate chips. Stir, pour into a buttered pan, freeze for three hours, cut into squares, and freeze again. The Gold Brick name comes from the flavor — it tastes like the classic New Orleans Gold Brick chocolate.

Note

The 9-minute cook time is precise — set a timer. This is what gives the fudge its firm, sliceable texture without being grainy.
