Fudge Success

Hello all,
I come bringing wonderful news!! I've made tasty fudge!! My wonderful aunt, reading about my fudge failures, told me her mom's recipe. I tried it and voila!


Preeettty smooth chocolately fudge! And it's from the recipe on the back label of the marshmallow creme jar. Delicious. It's very similar to the other fudge recipes I've tried, except at the end, marshmallow fluff is added. Boy, does it make a difference! A happy, delicious, wonderful, ego-restoring difference.

Fantasy Fudge

• 3 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup butter
• 5 oz (2/3 cup) evaporated milk
• 12 squares (12 oz) baker's semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1 7-oz jar marshmallow creme
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with foil; set aside.

In a large, heavy saucepan, bring sugar, butter, and evaporated milk to a boil over medium heat. STIR CONSTANTLY. Boil for 4 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 234F (I went by the temperature, which was much longer than 4 minutes). STIR CONSTANTLY. Once 234F has been reached, remove from heat.

Add chocolate and marshmallow creme; stir until thoroughly melted and incorporated. Add vanilla and nuts (if you chose to use them). Stir well.

Immediately pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let stand at room temp for 4 hours, until completely cooled. Cut into delicious squares of fudgy goodness. Store in an air-tight container.

ENJOY FUDGY DELICIOUS.
