Steps:
- 1. POKE HOLES IN CAKE WITH A WOODEN TOOTHPICK. THEN DRIZZLE THE MIXED INGREDIENTS OVER THE COOKED AND COOLED CHOCOLATE CAKE.
- 2. MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH THE FUGDE FROSTING FILLING HELP MAKE THIS CAKE BE SUPER MOIST AND TASTE LIKE FUDGE THAT HAS CAKE INTEGRATED INTO IT. IT DOES NOT REALLY TASTE AT ALL LIKE CAKE ...BUT FUDGE. DO NOT LET THE FUDGE "SET" BEFORE PUTTING ON THE CAKE. THAT IS REALLY THE MAJOR SECRET. YOU CAN PUT SOME MARSHMALLOW CREME ON IT SEPARATELY FOR STUNNING LOOKS. THE WHITE AGAINST THE DEVILS FOOD DARK COLOR IS STUNNING AND MAKES A NICE PRESENTATION.
- 3. YOU CAN SPRINKLE PECANS ON TOP FOR LOOKS. YOU CAN MAKE MULTIPLE LAYERS SO THE FUDGE FROSTING IS MORE INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE ACTUAL CAKE.
FAMOUS FUDGE
I have not yet tried this, but it is from an overdue library book (From Our Mothers' Kitchens) and I want to return the book tomorrow, so need to get the recipes I want to try copied down, pronto. I would very much like to try this fudge, but I know I don't have the arm strength to pull it off. I may try it with my heavy-duty mixer; what's the worst that could happen? Anita Stewart, the author of the cookbook and the daughter of the recipe's originator, says you can use this recipe to make chocolate fudge: "Add 3 coarsely diced squares of semisweet chocolate to the final mixture to make a creamy chocolate variation."

Steps:
- Butter a 9-inch square pan and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, milk and butter and then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar.
- Insert a candy thermometer so that it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan and cook, without stirring, until temperature reaches 238F (115C) or soft-ball-stage, watching very carefully during the final minutes of cooking.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and the nuts, if using.
- With a wooden spoon and a lot of elbow grease, beat fudge until it begins to thicken, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Pour into prepared pan and let cool; score with a sharp knife into squares or bars before the fudge is fully set.

SAMMY'S FAMOUS FUDGE (FOR KIDZ)
My 10 year old makes perfect fudge every time, much to her family's delight. She got this recipe out of her junior cookbook and would like to share it with all young or beginning cooks. It takes a little supervision by Mom or Dad. My job is to lick the spoon! Another bonus is since it is made with nonfat dry milk the fat is 3 grams per 1 inch square.

Steps:
- Line an 8x8x2 square baking pan with wax paper.
- In a large mixing bowl stir together powdered sugar and cocoa powder and set aside.
- In a small sauce pan stir together dry milk powder and water.
- Stir until powder is dissolved.
- Add 1/2 cup butter or magarine and cook over medium heat.
- Cook until mixture boils while continuing to stir.
- After mixture boils, pour it into the mixing bowl with powdered sugar and cocoa and stir until smooth.
- Add chopped nuts and stir until combined.
- Pour fudge mixture into prepared pan and spread mixture evenly.
- Chill fudge for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your fudge. Look for high-quality chocolate that is at least 60% cacao.
- Use a heavy saucepan. A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fudge from scorching.
- Don't overcook the fudge. Fudge is done when it reaches a temperature of 234 degrees Fahrenheit (112 degrees Celsius). If you overcook it, it will become grainy and crumbly.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 3 months in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
With its rich, creamy texture and decadent flavor, fudge is a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, there is a fudge recipe that is perfect for you. So, next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give one of these fudge recipes a try.
