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.

CREAMY RICH CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Creamy Rich Chocolate Fudge image

This is an extremely rich and creamy fudge recipe, it will definitely satisfy a sweet tooth craving. My husband and co-workers are always asking me to make this. If you have never made fudge, it may take a few times to get it right. Do not heat past 238 degrees or the fudge becomes dry. Also, if it is cooled too much before you beat it, it will harden very quickly. Beat the fudge until it just starts to lose its gloss.

TWO INGREDIENT CREAMY MILK CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Two Ingredient Creamy Milk Chocolate Fudge image

This is a wonderful fudge for which everyone wants the recipe and is surprised how easy and quick it is; and that it only takes 2 ingredients -chocolate morsels and canned frosting. This is a milk chocolate fudge, but you can make any flavor that you desire. See the recipe I posted some time ago, "Extra Easy and Delicious...

Provided by Pat Morris

Categories     Candies

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 2

12 oz nestle' semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 can(s) duncan hines creamy milk chocolate frosting

Steps:

  • 1. Put the bag of semi-sweet morsels in a glass bowl -don't pile them all to the middle, but kind of spread them out.
  • 2. Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Take out and stir well. Do not be tempted to melt longer -when you stir them they will melt (And you will be microwaving them again after adding the can of frosting).
  • 3. Then dump/spoon in one whole can of Creamy Milk Chocolate frosting on top of the melted morsels.
  • 4. Microwave on high 90 seconds. Take out and stir well. Again, don't be tempted to over-microwave -it may scorch or lumpy.
  • 5. Pour/spoon frosting and morsels mixture into a 8"x8" or 9"x9" square Pan. I line the pan with aluminum foil that has been sprayed with Pam. It makes it easier to lift out the cut pieces. You can just spray with Pam or other non-stick cooking spray.
  • 6. Refrigerate until chilled and set. Then cut into small squares -it is a rich fudge. Makes 24 to 30 pieces (depending on the size of the squares).
  • 7. Enjoy!!!!!
  • 8. HINTS: (1) You can use Nestle or Hershey chips/morsels -don't use an off brand or one that is not real chocolate; (2) Sometimes I put a capful of Vanilla extract (not flavoring) and a pinch of salt; (3) I sometimes add a few broken nuts in with the morsels and frosting after it has been melted. Of course, additions no longer make it a two ingredient fudge -but hey, I like to experiment, and it is good with or without the additions; (4) You can use any brand of canned frosting, but don't use the Whipped kind -it doesn't set as well; (5) Either spray your pan with a non-stick spray (such as Pam) or line the pan with aluminum foil (bring it up the sides of the pan too) and spray it As stated in the recipe I posted earlier (Extra Easy and Delicious Fudge), you can try many different combinations of chips/morsels and frostings, such as Butterscotch Chips and Vanilla Frosting or Peanut Butter Chips and Chocolate Frosting, etc. Give this fudge a try and let us know what combinations that you use.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the fudge will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. Cook it just until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Fudge will keep for up to two weeks at room temperature, or up to three months in the refrigerator.
  • Get creative with your toppings. You can top your fudge with anything from chopped nuts to sprinkles to dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Creamy chocolate fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and decadent dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give creamy chocolate fudge a try.
