Wednesday, January 04, 2006 I love fudge, especially homemade. In fact I am having a piece right now. It really turned out right this year for the holidays and I thought I would share my recipes. It is the marshmallows that makes it so creamy. When I was at home, Mom always said it was the stirring that made it creamy and smooth. I didn't work as hard on this fudge as I remember Mom and both turned out great.PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
2 cups of granulated sugar
2/3 cup of evaporated milk (yes, can milk makes a difference)
2 cups of minature marshmallows
1 cup peanut butter (I think creamy is best)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Boil sugar and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring accasionally but do not leave alone to boil for a long period of time. This should only be boiling for about 3 minutes. You can test for soft ball stage by dropping a dab in ice cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready. Practice, you will soon get the idea of what it should look like in the pan. Remember to use medium heat and for about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients, stir for about 1 minute or until the marshmallows have melted and there is a shine. Pour the candy into a greased pan and chilled until firm.
CHOCOLATE FUDGE
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cups evaporated milk (yes, can milk makes a difference)
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups minature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Boil butter, milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring accasionally but do not leave alone to boil for a long period of time. This should only be boiling for about 4 - 5 minutes. You can test for soft ball stage by dropping a dab in ice cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready. Practice, you will soon get the idea of what it should look like in the pan. Remember to use medium heat and this recipe may be ready close to 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients, stir for about 1 minute or until the marshmallows have melted and there is a shine. Pour the candy into a greased pan and chilled until firm.
For both recipes I cut mine into squares and wrapped each piece individually with plastic wrap. It really didn't take as long as it seems and it makes it nice for gift giving.
Oh Yeah HAPPY NEW YEAR!
