Chocolate Fudge
I made chocolate fudge the other day, and it came out really well, so I thought I'd share the recipe. It's the old, original recipe from the back of the Kraft marshmellow creme bottle:
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 12-oz. (340 g) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 7-oz. (198 g) jar Kraft Marshmallow creme
1 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine sugar, margarine and milk in heavy 2-1/2 quart saucepan; bring to full rolling bail, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate till melted. Add marshmallow creme, nuts & vanilla beat till blended. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Let cool and cut into 1-inch squares.
Kae's Notes
- Definitely substitute butter for margarine. It is so much nicer that way.
- Definitely use the best quality chocolate chips you can find. I use Ghiradelli.
- You can leave out the nuts completely. I made half plain and half with walnuts.
- You can use low-fat evaporated milk to make it healthier, which is what I normally do. It's like swabbing the decks of the Titanic, though.
