Grammie Bea's Chocolate Fudge image

This is an "OUT OF THIS WORLD" old fashioned recipe that my gram always made when I was growing up, and she always brought it out when company came, and that was often! It is one of my 3 favorite fudge recipes, and it is DELICIOUS!!! I am posting the other 2 also. This fudge is different than most fudges, not the soft creamy kind... Has a different texture and taste... All I know, is it's one that will have you back in the dish searching for more, till it's gone :)

Time 25m

Yield 48 1 1/2"x1 1/2" pieces, approximately

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups milk
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
4 tablespoons marshmallow cream, heaping
1 cup walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon peanut butter, heaping (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir first 4 ingredients together in a heavy cast iron pan. Bring to a boil.
  • Boil briskly until mixture forms a soft ball in a glass of cold water (238 degrees F using a candy thermometer).
  • Take off stove. Stir in marshmallow, walnuts and vanilla. You can also add a heaping T. of peanut butter too!
  • Pour in well greased 9x13" pan, and let cool.
  • Cut into 2" squares, and refrigerate if desired.
  • Store in airtight container.
  • Note: I can tell you from experience, it is best to use the candy thermometer, and DO NOT make on a rainy day, as it will not harden properly! I always make it with the peanut butter.
