The "supposedly" See's Fudge Recipe

(Mary) Poway, CA(Zone 10a)

I found several recipes on line that say they're the See's fudge recipe. Some of them use 3 of the 12 oz. packages of chocolate chips, and some of them use 3 of the 6 oz. packages of chocolate chips.

Has anybody made this, and which did they use?

It supposedly was leaked out in 1930. I don't think they had 12 oz. packages of the chocolate chips then. I only remember 6 oz. packages when I was a kid.

This recipe makes about 5 lbs of fudge. No one has attempted a calorie count, but it's estimated that each piece contains about 47 gazillion calories. Dieters, beware! HISTORICAL NOTE: Given to Amy DeVore by Emma Julian c. 1930, this is "supposedly" the original recipe for See's Fudge, produced by the See's Candy Company, Los Angeles. Emma allegedly worked for See's and later owned her own candy store.
