Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Description
The recipe involves cooking a mixture of sugar, evaporated milk, and butter to a boil before combining it with melted milk chocolate, semi-sweet chips, marshmallow creme, and vanilla extract. This process yields a smooth, firm fudge after cooling. The stirring and beating stages are key to achieving the characteristic creamy texture, while the gentle boil ensures proper sugar concentration.
Walnuts are an optional ingredient that add a nutty contrast to the sweet, chocolate base. The fudge is poured into a prepared pan to set, chilled to expedite firming, and then cut into squares for serving.
This fudge can be stored wrapped or airtight in the refrigerator, maintaining its texture and flavor for days. Using parchment or greased pans facilitates easy removal, and chilling helps the fudge solidify uniformly before slicing.
Ingredients
- 4½ cups sugar
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- ½ cup butter
- 8 ounces milk chocolate bars
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups walnuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 inch pan with butter or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Break up milk chocolate bars and place in a bowl with semi sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and vanilla.
- In a medium size pot, combine sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts boiling, set the timer for 5 minutes and let boil while gently stirring.
- Pour the cooked sugar over into the bowl of chocolate. Stir and beat together to cool. Mix until smooth. Stir in walnuts if desired. Pour into prepared pan and smooth over.
- Let fudge cool completely to set up. You can place in the fridge to speed up the process. Then cut into squares and store wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge.
