FUDGE! Did you ever know it was so easy to
make?? Well, it is – HURRAY! (or not
hurray for those of us trying to stay on track with our eating this holiday
season) This fudge is the BOMB! It is so
simply, and can be cut into little squares for great portion (control)? It is
rich so you don’t need a lot to satisfy your holiday craving. This recipe was given to me by a dear friend –
one who I send all my ridiculous food questions to. And she is always kind
enough to answer my ridiculous food questions, and since she gives me amazing
recipes such as this one, I always listen to her suggestions J. She confessed that she found this recipe here. I
added a bit of kosher salt (sea salt of flakes would work too) on top of this
and I think it really was a tasty addition.
Also – I used a candy thermometer for this – but the timing came out
almost exact. After the sugar mixture is
boiling, let it boil for 4 minutes and it is done.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Level of Difficulty: Medium
Rating: 5 – Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 small can (5 oz.) evaporated
milk (about 2/3 cup) (Do not use sweetened condensed milk.)
3 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S
Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped
1 jar (7 oz.) JET-PUFFED
Marshmallow Crème
1 tsp. vanilla
Sea or Kosher Salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9-inch square pan
with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Bring sugar, butter and
evaporated milk to full rolling boil in 3-qt. saucepan on medium heat, stirring
constantly. Mixture will grow so be sure you use a large enough pan. Cook about
4 min. or until candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat.
Add chocolate and
marshmallow creme; stir until melted. Add vanilla and mix well.
Pour into prepared pan;
spread to cover bottom of pan. Cool completely. Use foil handles to lift fudge
from pan before cutting into squares.
Tip
You
could top this fudge with a ton of different things. I love the sea salt +
chocolate combo but you could use nuts, crushed candy canes or coconut. Adjust
pp accordingly if adding additional toppings.
*If
anyone would like me to figure out the PP on a larger piece – 1/36 of the pan,
please let me know!
