Fool Proof Fudge
6:05 PM Okay people, listen up. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Make fudge that is.
In my opinion this is the ONLY way to make fudge. It's not glamorous and certainly doesn't invoke a sense of old time candy making. But, it works every time and you are left with perfect fudge. I made fudge this year for some Christmas gifts (along with some Peanut Brittle) and as always, this recipe did not disappoint.
This recipe uses Jet-Puffed (fake marshmallow) and the recipe is the off the back of the Jet-Puffed container. Like I said, not glamorous but who needs glamor when you have perfectly rich fudge.
FUDGE RECIPE
(from the back of the Jet-Puffed container)
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 small can (5 oz.) evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup) (Do not use sweetened condensed milk.)
1-1/2 pkg. (12 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped
1 jar (7 oz.) JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme
1 cup chopped PLANTERS Walnuts
1 tsp. vanilla
Line a 9 inch square baking dish with foil.
Place sugar, butter and evaporated milk in large heavy saucepan. Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 4 min. or until candy thermometer reaches 234°F, chocolate and marshmallow creme; stir until completely melted.
Add walnuts and vanilla; mix immediately into prepared pan; spread to form even layer in pan.
Let stand at room temperature 4 hours or until completely cooled; cut into 1-inch squares. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
