Put popped corn and nuts into large shallow roasting pan.  Combine and bring to boil: sugar, syrup, butter, salt.  Stir constantly.  Boil 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Stir in vanilla and Baking soda.   This rises quickly so pour over popcorn immediately.  Bake at 250°.

Prize Fudge«««««

This is the only fudge recipe ever made at our house because it was so good that there was no reason to try another kind!  Jeffrey Iverson's favorite.

4 cups	sugar
1 can (14 ½ ounces)	evaporated milk
1 cup	butter
1 12 ounce package	semisweet chocolate pieces
1 pint	marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon	vanilla
1 cup	broken walnuts
Butter sides of a heavy 3 quart saucepan.  In it combine sugar, milk, and butter. Cook over medium heat to soft-ball stage (236°) stirring frequently.  Soft ball means that when you take a small sample from the pan and drop it into ice water it forms a "soft ball" and does not get runny. Remove from heat; add chocolate, marshmallow crème, vanilla, and nuts.  Beat till the chocolate is melted and blended. Pour into a buttered 9X9X2 inch pan or use a 13X9 pan.  Cool and cut into squares.
