CREAMY CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Creamy Chocolate Fudge image

I clipped this recipe from a December 1983 issue of The Charlotte (NC) Observer, which was running a contest to see who made the best fudge. This recipe won in the "Plain Chocolate Fudge" category (no additives such as nuts). I made this for presents at the holidays and now my grown kids are making it for gifts themselves. I buy disposable aluminum pans approx 5x8-inch so I can just wrap them up and give them as gifts. This recipe makes three pans-full.... or two 8x8-inch pans of fudge.

Time 30m

Yield 128 1 in squares

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter (no margarine)
25 large marshmallows, cut in quarters
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares, cut up
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 1/2 ounces milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Butter two 8x8-inch or three 5x8-inch pans.
  • In a large heavy pot (I use a dutch oven size pot), mix together sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter; stir to mix.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Then let boil for 2 minutes, not stirring.
  • NOTE: You need to move quickly during the next couple of steps so have the marshmallows and chocolate squares cut up and cut open the bags of chocolate chips.
  • Turn off heat but leave pot on the burner.
  • Add marshmallows, quickly stirring until melted.
  • Add each chocolate separately in the order listed in the recipe, quickly stirring until melted.
  • Pour into prepared pans.
  • Let cool.
  • Fudge tastes better each day --- if it lasts!
