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!

CHOCOLATE FUDGE

This EASY Chocolate Fudge recipe is simple to make using chocolate chips and marshmallows. I've got flavor variation ideas, and tips for freezing fudge or making it ahead.

Provided by Lauren Allen

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.

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.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Chocolate fudge image

Make this moreish chocolate fudge as a sweet treat or homemade gift. Be sure to use a sugar thermometer to achieve the perfect melt-in-your-mouth consistency

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Snack, Treat

Time 35m

Yield Makes 15 - 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

300ml whole milk
350g caster sugar
100g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g dark chocolate, chopped (we used Green & Blacks, 70%)
chopped nuts, toffee pieces, mini chocolate buttons

Steps:

  • Line an 18cm square tin with greaseproof paper.
  • Put the milk, sugar and butter in a heavy-based saucepan. Heat gently, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
  • Bring to the boil for 15-20 mins, still stirring all the time. The mixture will bubble up - when it does, take it off the heat and keep stirring it until it sinks back down. Then return it to the heat.
  • Start to take the temperature after about 15 mins (continuing to stir or it will burn on the bottom). The time it takes to come up to temperature may vary, particularly in a cold kitchen. Once it reaches 115C on a temperature probe, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a good pinch of sea salt. Leave to cool for 5 mins.
  • Stir in the chopped chocolate and the mixture and keep stirring until the chocolate has melted. Quickly pour the mixture into your prepared tin and leave to set at room temperature.
  • Before the fudge has completely set, you can add rows of different toppings like nuts, toffees or mini chocolate buttons - just scatter them over the surface and gently press into the fudge until they stick. Make sure the fudge is only slightly warm when you do this - if it's too hot the toppings can melt. Once set, cut the fudge into small pieces and store in a sealed container.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING



Easy Chocolate Fudge Frosting image

I got this recipe from a bowling partner several years ago when I discovered I was out of powdered sugar and asked her for a frosting recipe I could put on "One Pot Brownies" that didn't call for powdered sugar. I don't know where this recipe originated as she recited it to me from memory. It's a snap to make and goes good on brownies, cake, cookies-just about any product calling for frosting.
