"Servings from Grandma's Table" Lots of yummy dishes in there!
*Warning: the following process contains boiling sugar. This is very hot and can result in burns to skin. I got away with just one bandaid. I feel accomplished. ;) That being said, Let's get started! Here is what you will need.
*Heavy weight sause pan. (With a light weight pan the sugar is more likely to burn.)
*Spatula
*Wooden spoon
*9x13 pan
*Parchment paper
*Candy thermometer
"Mrs. See's Chocolate Fudge"
4 1/2 c. Sugar
13 oz. Evaporated Milk
2 sticks Butter
3 c. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 pt. Marshmallow Cream
1 T. Vanilla
Line 9x13 pan with Parchment paper. Set aside. In separate bowl place the butter, chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and Vanilla. It is important to have it set together so you do not have to rush for ingredients. The sugar cools off very fast.
Combine sugar and evaporated milk and boil until a little more than "softball" on thermometer. Stir to prevent burning. Small circles, and slow side to side rotations help to keep the splatters to a minimum.
When the temperature hits 100* C the liquid starts to boil. Keeping the heat at a low medium helps to reduce the chance of it boiling over.
When "softball" is reached remove from heat. Pour combined ingredients into the hot mixture.
Beat the mixture until completely smooth.
Pour into prepared pan. Allow to cool, flip out of pan, peal paper off and cut into bite sized pieces.
I decided to experiment with the flavors a bit.
I made mint fudge by replacing the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips and the vanilla with 1/2 T. Mint flavoring.
I even swirled the chocolate and mint together.
Peanut butter fudge was made by substituting the chocolate chips with:
2 c. Peanut Butter and Milk chocolate chips
1 c. Creamy Peanut butter
Chocolate chips swirled on top for the looks
This fudge can be cut, wrapped in saran wrap, placed in zip-lock baggies and frozen. Thaw before eating. :)
