FIVE POUNDS CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Five Pounds Chocolate Fudge image

I got this recipe out of Southern Living several years ago.The magazine credits Mrs. R.D. Walker of Garland, TX for the recipe. It is the only fudge I make, because it does make a large amount, and I find it easy to make. I am posting this for safekeeping, since I have lost it more than once. It does matter that you use good chocolate chips. Once I made it with a not-quite-so-good chips and it was pretty nasty.Cooking time is a guess, it doesn't really take too long, but I have never timed it.

Time 20m

Yield 5 pounds, 150 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (12 ounce) packages semisweet chocolate morsels (4 cups)
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
butter or margarine
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; set it aside.
  • Combine the sugar and evaporated milk in a buttered(very important)Dutch oven. (If you don't butter the sides, your sugar could crystallize and ruin the fudge.).
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches soft ball stage, or candy thermometer registers 234 degrees.
  • Pour over chocolate chip mixture.
  • Beat at high speed with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss. (I just use a spoon, you don't have to beat this very long.).
  • Stir in vanilla and chopped pecans.
  • Spread fudge evenly into a buttered 15 x 10 jellyroll pan. (I usually put in waxed paper and butter the waxed paper. It comes out very easily that way if you want to cut it out of the pan, not in it.).
  • Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • I cut it into 1" squares, so it makes 150 servings.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Easy Chocolate Fudge image

"All candy-making is about preventing crystallization," said Michael Chu, an engineer based in Austin, Tex., who writes about his kitchen experiments online at Cooking for Engineers. Mr. Chu's chocolate fudge recipe, of which this is an adaptation, has the pleasantly cakey, almost sandy texture desirable in fudge, which can be tricky to achieve using milk and butter. He uses condensed milk to reduce the ingredients in the fudge to a mere three (salt is optional), and to eliminate the dreaded step of cooking the sugar syrup to the soft-ball stage. "The manufacturing process has already done that work for you," he said.

Time 15m

Yield 16 two-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
1 pound semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan. Line with parchment or wax paper, letting edges of paper hang over sides of pan.
  • In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl set over (not resting in) simmering water, combine all ingredients except nuts. Mix just until melted and well combined. (Alternatively, use a microwave on low power to melt ingredients, stopping every 10 to 20 seconds to mix well.) The mixture should be heated as little as possible. Mix in nuts, if using.
  • Scrape mixture into prepared pan. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight. Lift fudge on paper out of pan and use a large knife to cut into squares.
