Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups brown sugar (packed lightly)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, cream and salt to a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Stir until butter and sugar are melted and combined. Stop stirring
  • Bring the sugar to a boil and stop stirring. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cook until the sugar reaches 236°F. Test using the soft ball method by adding some of the candy mixture to a cup of cold water. If a soft candy ball forms then the fudge is cooked.
  • Remove from heat and let cool to 110F. Once cooled add the vanilla and quickly beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge becomes smooth, lighter in colour and loses it shininess to a matte texture.
  • Pour the fudge quickly into an 8" X 8" glass dish lined with parchment paper. Push the fudge into the corners of the pan with the wooden spoon or spatula and smooth off the top. Let cool completely for about 1 hour and then cut into squares.
  • Store in a sealed container on the counter for up to 3 weeks.

MY MOTHER'S BEST FUDGE RECIPE



My Mother's Best Fudge Recipe image

This fudge recipe is quite a treat! It's creamy and full of chocolate flavor. Since there is no specific type of chocolate mentioned, we went with milk chocolate chips. We also opted for pecans and loved the crunch in every bite. If you don't like nuts, leave them out. This fudge will be just as fantastic. You're not going to be...

Categories     Chocolate

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c sugar
1 can(s) evaporated milk, 12 oz
2 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag(s) chocolate chips, 12 oz
1 pkg regular marshmallows, 16 oz bag
2 lb pecans or black walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Before beginning, take a large dish (at least 9 x 12 or larger) and butter it, getting it ready for the fudge to be poured into when the fudge is finished.
  • 2. In a heavy pan, add the sugar, evaporated milk, and 2 sticks of butter. Start heating this over medium heat to medium-high heat.
  • 3. Heat to a boil and let it boil on low heat until it comes to a soft-ball stage.
  • 4. At this point, add the vanilla. Do not let it go any longer. Do not continue cooking. It is very important to take it off at this point so it doesn't overcook or get sugary.
  • 5. Add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Start stirring quickly into the hot mixture.
  • 6. If you want nuts, add the nuts at this point.
  • 7. Pour it into the greased pan. This will have to set for several hours before cutting because it is a very deep fudge and makes 5 pounds. PATIENCE is worth the wait.
