Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter ((2 sticks))
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 12- ounce can evaporated milk
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Add the butter, both types of chocolate chips, and vanilla to an extra large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Line a 9×13'' pan with tin foil and set aside.
  • In a very large heavy saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, and marshmallows. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Keep the heat on medium and stir constantly, being cautious to constantly scrape down the sides of the pan and along the bottom of the pan as you stir (this will help the sugar dissolve and not be grainy, and keep anything from burning to the bottom or sides of the pan.)
  • Boil for about 10 minutes*--the fudge should be light golden brown in color. (If using a candy thermometer you will want to cook it to around 235-240 degrees F. Temperature will vary depending on altitude, humidity etc., but just watch the clock and make sure it boils for about 10 minutes).
  • Grease your foil-lined pan with cooking spray.
  • Pour the hot mixture into the bowl with the chocolate chips and use an electric mixer to gently combine everything until melted and smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Chill completely in the refrigerator. Once cooled you can pull up on the edges of the tinfoil to lift the entire slab of fudge out of the pan.
  • Cut into small squares, or I like to cut it into a few "bricks" that I wrap in tinfoil and give as gifts. Store fudge wrapped tightly in the fridge so it doesn't dry out.

THE ORIGINAL FANTASY FUDGE



The Original Fantasy Fudge image

This recipe used to be found on the back of a well known brand of marshmallow cream. Many were surprised when it was changed. This is the original! You may find that most packages of chocolate chips are 10 ounces now; 12 ounces of chocolate chips is roughly 2 cups.

2 cups white sugar
½ cup cocoa
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.

  • Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Chocolate Fudge image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and softened, plus more for brushing
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla, mint or almond extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup half-and-half
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Assorted toppings (see below)

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
  • Lightly brush the foil with butter. Lightly brush the bowl of a stand mixer or another large metal bowl with butter. Add 2 tablespoons cut-up butter, the chocolate, extract and salt; set the bowl aside.
  • Heat the half-and-half in a medium pot over medium-high heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in the sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon; boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; run a pastry brush dipped in warm water along the sides of the pan to dissolve any sugar crystals clinging to the pan. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan. Simmer the mixture, undisturbed, until the thermometer registers 234 degrees F to 238 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes, watching the temperature closely as cooking times may vary. (This is the "soft-ball stage." To test for doneness, drop some of the mixture into cold water; you should be able to roll it into a soft ball.)
  • Quickly pour the sugar mixture over the chocolate-butter mixture in the bowl (do not scrape the sides or bottom of the saucepan in case any sugar crystals formed). Clean the candy thermometer, then clip it to the bowl. Let the chocolate mixture cool, undisturbed, until it registers 110 degrees F to 115 degrees F, about 1 hour. (For faster cooling, set the bowl in a larger bowl of cold water.)
  • Brush the paddle attachment or mixer beaters with butter. Beat the mixture on medium speed until just incorporated, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat until the fudge just begins to lose its sheen and hold its shape, 5 to 15 minutes. Do not overmix or the fudge will become hard. Use a buttered rubber spatula to scrape the fudge into the prepared pan and pat into an even layer; smooth the top.
  • Press one or more toppings into the fudge, if desired (about 3/4 cup total). Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then score the fudge into small squares with a knife. For the best texture, let sit at least 1 more hour before slicing. Wrap leftover fudge in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature, or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Toppings: Crushed sandwich cookies, crushed graham crackers, white chocolate chips, sprinkles, peanut butter drizzle, or mini marshmallows.

MARGARET'S SOUTHERN CHOCOLATE PIE



Margaret's Southern Chocolate Pie image

A rich, creamy chocolate pie reminiscent of old-fashioned Southern home cookin'!

Provided by Becky

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Vintage Pie Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
3 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Sift together the cocoa powder and the flour and pour them into a saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and 1 1/3 cups sugar. Gradually add the evaporated milk, whisking constantly; slowly pour the milk mixture into the saucepan, whisking until combined.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a flat-bottomed wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust.
  • To make the meringue topping: Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean glass or metal bowl; beat with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Spread the meringue over the chocolate filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tips of the meringue peaks are golden brown.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth fudge, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly.
  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the fudge. This will help prevent it from becoming too hard or too soft.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the fudge is ready.
  • For a richer fudge, use dark chocolate. You can also add other ingredients such as nuts, dried fruit, or flavorings to create different variations.
  • Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also freeze fudge for up to three months.

Conclusion:

Chocolate fudge is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can create a delicious and creamy fudge that is perfect for any occasion.
