Directions: |
Directions:Longer method -
• On the stove, heat the milk on medium high, in a large, heavy saucepan (like a dutch oven) along with the sugar and butter to soft ball stage (when you put a drop of mixture into cool water and it makes a ball you can mush together) using a metal spoon to stir constantly to keep from scalding/burning on bottom. Once mixture starts to boil, you can turn heat to medium to prevent this as well. Takes about 12-15 minutes after boiling begins.
• Take off of heat and stir in remaining ingredients stirring until all chocolate has melted.
• Pour into a buttered 9x9x2 or 13x9x1 pan, depending on how thick you want the fudge pieces. (you can line pan with foil or wax paper instead)
• Smooth flat on the top, sprinkle nuts and press down if desired.
• Let cool to stiffen. If not thickening, you can put the pan into the fridge to harden.
• Cut into squares to serve.
Quick method -
• In large glass bowl, combine chips and milk. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
• Stir until chips melt and mixture is smooth. May require another minute or two in microwave and another stir for this consistency (depends on power of your microwave).
• Stir in nuts and vanilla.
• Line a 8” square pan with foil or waxed paper.
• Pour fudge mixture into the pan and spread evenly.
• Chill until firm, about 2 hrs.
• Makes about 1 1/4lb fudge; 64 – 1” pieces.
** With either of these versions, you can add different ingredients on the top to give different flavors....miniature marshmallows, crushed peppermint candy, crushed Heath bar candy, etc. |
