Provided by Katie Shaw

Categories     Dessert

Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder (Hershey's is fine)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup half and half
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except butter and vanilla. In a 2 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, half and half, cocoa, salt, and corn syrup. Mix well with a whisk and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. While the fudge is cooking, butter a plate or baking dish for pouring the mixture into later.
  • Heat until the mixture reaches 240 degrees. Let the fudge cook until it reaches 240 degrees, checked with a candy thermometer or instant-read thermometer. Don't stir during the cooking process. Once the temperature is reached, immediately remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place butter and vanilla on top and allow to cool. Place the butter and vanilla on top of the fudge and allow it to cool. Do not mix or disturb the pan. Let it cool about. 20 minutes until the side of the pan is warm but not hot to the touch.
  • Mix with a hand mixer until fudge begins to firm up. Using a hand mixer on medium-low, beat the fudge for 1-3 minutes until it just begins to firm up and lose its shine.
  • Quickly pour into a buttered dish, cool, and cut. Once the fudge changes texture, immediately pour it into a dish to set. Work quickly. It if is not pourable, just scoop it out and flatten in the best you can. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes and cut into one-inch squares.

AUNT DOT'S FUDGE

This is a super creamy, yummy fudge.

Provided by Marie Freeman

Categories     Chocolate

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c sugar
2 stick butter
10 oz evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla
12 oz chocolate chips
1 1/2 c chopped walnots

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy 4 qt. pot, bring to a boil the sugar, butter and milk. Then cut the heat back to medium and cook to the soft-ball stage. ( when a teaspoon full of the mixture is dropped into cold water, you can press it together to form a soft ball)
  • 2. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips.
  • 3. Beat with a hand mixer or by hand with a whisk until it looses the shine on the surface. Fold in the nuts.
  • 4. Pour onto a cookie sheet to cool. Slice into 1 inch pieces. Can be frozen for a month so so easily. Store with parchment paper between the layers.
  • 5. This recipe can easily be changed to other flavors by substituting other chips. Peanut butter, white chocolate, butterscotch. White chocolate is really good with cherries ( pretty too ). I use the candied cherries like you use for fruit cake. Maraschino cherries do not work, they are too juicy.

AUNT HANNAH'S FOOLPROOF PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE



Aunt Hannah's Foolproof Peanut Butter Fudge image

Creamy. Soft. Peanut Buttery. My sister-in-law gave me this recipe nearly 30 years ago, and my family and friends have insisted that I make multiple batches of it during the Holidays ever since. They've been known to monitor the amount they each receive in goodie packages, and to actually fight over it. I usually omit the nuts, so that the creamy, melt in your mouth texture isn't hindered.

Time 30m

Yield 1 13x9 pan

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
5 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 dash salt
7 ounces marshmallow creme
14 ounces peanut butter (Jiff \ good quality peanut butter is a MUST)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly butter or grease a 13x9 pan; set aside.
  • Measure out peanut butter, marshmallow creme and vanilla onto a large, lightly buttered or greased plate; set aside.
  • Place evaporated milk and sugar into a large heavy pot; stir until combined. Add butter or margarine and salt.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; adjust heat until a consistent medium-boil is achieved. (You need to lower the heat if the bubbles are popping and spurting dangerously close to your hand while stirring.).
  • Boil 12 minutes (more or less), stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat; quickly add remaining ingredients and beat by hand until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Let cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Note for subsequent batches: If your batch is less firm than you'd like, increase cooking time a minute or so. If it's too firm, or becomes dry or crystal-ly when cooled, decrease cooking time or add more peanut butter.
