Although Mamie was not known for her culinary prowess, she did earn fame for her sumptuous fudge, which Ike named and often enjoyed.

I have been making Mamie's Eisenhower's Million Dollar Fudge for over 10 years, especially at Christmas. I have so many request for it that I always make 2 batches of it each year and give it away to my colleagues, family and friends. It only gets better each day after it is made. This is the only fudge recipe I make. Suggestion for others: add 3/4 tsp vanilla and 2 (7oz) marshmallow jars work great in the recipe.Great recipe. – Reviewed by Margaret Baber
This recipe has been passed down from my grandmother. My mother is famous for this fudge and I carry on the tradition. It is a wonderful gift at holiday time or for your favorite chocolate lover. – Anonymous Review
I did not read the reviews before I made this recipe. It would have solved a little confusion. First ... the recipe calls for one tall can of evaporated milk. How many ounces is this? Then it calls for one pint of marshmallow cream. They do not sell marshmallow cream by the pint. Do they mean 16 ounces total? I used one large jar and one partial small jar to equal 16 ounces. I think this was a little too much and will just use one large jar in the future.(I think it's 13 ounces). – Reviewed by Chuck Main
