Provided by Becky Hardin - Easy Dessert Recipes

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups granulated sugar (600 grams)
¾ cup unsalted butter (170 grams (1½ sticks))
5 ounces evaporated milk (142 grams)
¾ cup peanut butter flavored baking chips (128 grams)
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (128 grams)
7 ounces marshmallow creme (198 grams (1 tub))
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars (216 grams (4 1.9-ounce bars))
¼ cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars (54 grams, optional (1 1.9-ounce bar))

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper a few inches too long on all sides so you can easily lift the fudge out of the pan once it hardens. Set the prepared pan to the side.
  • In a large saucepan set over medium, heat the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk, stirring until it melts together. Continue to stir the mixture until it begins to boil. It will begin to become foamy and bubbly.
  • Continue stirring the fudge for an additional minute. Once done, remove it from the heat and stir in the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and marshmallow creme. Continue stirring the mixture until the chips have completely melted and mixed in with the marshmallow creme, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Once combined, stir in the vanilla. The mixture will begin to harden as it cools so before it begins to set, quickly stir in the butterfinger candy bar pieces.
  • Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the top of the fudge with the remaining crushed Butterfinger candy bar (optional), and very gently press it into the top of the fudge.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the fudge cool in the refrigerator for a few hours, until the fudge is completely cooled and has set. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve.

MINI FUDGE BITES



Mini Fudge Bites image

Provided by Duff Goldman

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 64 bites

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half a 14-ounce can)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
One 16.5-ounce package ready-to-bake sugar cookie dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Store-bought royal icing
1 to 2 drops gel food color (any color you like)
Candied violets (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • For the fudge: Spray a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides so the fudge can be easily removed.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter and salt. Bring to just short of boiling over medium heat, until the mixture is loose and the chocolate chips are melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts and vanilla using a wooden spoon.
  • Pour the hot mixture into the prepared baking dish and refrigerate until cool and set, about 2 hours. Then, using a 1-inch square cookie cutter, cut the fudge into cubes.
  • For the cookies: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the cookie dough from its packaging and transfer to a lightly floured surface; roll to 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and parbake for 10 to 11 minutes.
  • Using the 1-inch square cookie cutter, cut the parbaked cookies and return to the prepared baking sheet. Bake the cookies until they are lightly golden around the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. If they have puffed up and lost their shape, use the same cookie cutter to punch out the cookies again while they are still warm, for cleaner edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
  • For the assembly and decorations: In a medium bowl, combine the royal icing with gel food color and mix until completely incorporated. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round number 2 tip. Pipe a dab of the royal icing onto the center of each cookie and adhere a cube of fudge on top. Decorate each fudge bite with more royal icing then top with a candied violet. Transfer to a platter to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fudge from burning.
  • Stir the fudge constantly. Stirring the fudge constantly will help to prevent it from scorching and will also help to incorporate the candy bar bits evenly.
  • Use a candy thermometer to reach the correct temperature. A candy thermometer is the best way to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature, which is 234°F (112°C).
  • Do not overcook the fudge. Overcooking the fudge will cause it to become grainy and crumbly.
  • Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting it. Allowing the fudge to cool completely will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

Fudge is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With the right ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can easily make delicious fudge at home. Whether you prefer classic chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, or something more unique like candy bar fudge, there's a recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give fudge a try!
