Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Chocolate Fudge has always been one of my favorite sweet treats. It's a very rich dessert excellent for holidays and special occassions.
Perfect chocolate fudge has to have that creamy melt in your mouth flavor. I've made many fudge recipes that turned out tasting gritty.
A great tasting fudge recipe has to use ingredients readily available at any grocery store.
Ingredients:
20 oz. Nestley's milk chocolate bars, any size will do, just make sure it adds up to 20 oz.
1 cup butter (not margarine!), softened to room temperature.
1-12 oz. package of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use a good brand, as in Nestle's, Hershey's, or Ghiradelli.
If you prefer lighter fudge, use milk chocolate chips.
4 cups granulated sugar
1 2/3 cups evaporated milk
2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
2 teaspoons vanilla, use the real thing here
1 pound of your favorite nuts, chopped
Cooking Instructions:
In a large stainless steel bowl, break up the milk chocolate candy bars and the butter into small pieces. Pour in chocolate chips and set aside.
Grease your pans with butter. You'll need two 9x13 inch flat cake pans, but you can use smaller or larger pans depending on what you have available, and how thick you want your fudge to be. It's best to have a couple of extra smaller pans ready just in case.
In a large saucepan or pot, combine sugar, evaporated milk and mini marshmallows. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Tip: Don't scrape the sides of the pot when you are stirring, it tends to make candy taste grainy.
Cook and stir at a light but steady boil for 7 minutes. You might see some brownish bits floating around as its cooking. This is normal. Remove from heat, pour over butter and chocolate in your bowl.
With a wooden spoon, stir until melted and well blended. Continue to stir until candy loses some of it's shine. (The shine should go from a shiny, high gloss to a matte gloss). Stir in vanilla and nuts, if desired.* Pour into buttered pans. Cool completely before cutting into pieces. Use a knife dipped in hot water for cutting.
