Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon solid vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 (18.25 ounce) box devil's food chocolate cake mix (such as Betty Crocker® Super Moist®)
1 ⅓ cups water
3 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping, divided
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ cup pecan halves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour the bottom and sides of a 12-inch stainless steel, oven-safe skillet with shortening and flour, tapping out any excess flour.
  • Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into the bottom of the prepared skillet.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen and carefully invert onto a large round platter. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1/2 of the caramel topping with the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high until chocolate is melted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Stir mixture until combined and smooth; carefully spread over the cake.

MEXICAN SKILLET FUDGE



Mexican Skillet Fudge image

This recipe came from a women's magazine around 1960. It's been a family signature since a friend gave it to momma that many years ago. So far as I know, I'm the only one who still makes it... which is a shame! Friends who don't even like fudge ask me when I'm making it again. At church I'm known as 'the Fudge Lady' and it's just expected that I'll make this whenever there is a need to bring food. Even if the fudge is a little soft (roll it in crushed walnuts, or as my husband suggested, nuke for Hot Fudge Sundae sauce) or a bit hard, it's still smooth and excellent! So says the fans, anyway.

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cup(s) white sugar
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) sea salt (or regular salt)
3 tablespoon(s) butter
1 cup(s) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
7 ounce(s) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup(s) mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Prep: butter one or two 7x11 biscut pan(s), or whatever size pan you have available. Obviously, the larger the pan, the thinner the finished product (which could be a good thing!). (update: I like to sprinkle a drop or two of water in the pan, then line it with plastic wrap, instead of the butter. Easier to remove the fudge.
  • In an electric skillet, add the sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine. Add butter and milk, then stir again. Set skillet temp to the mark between 320 and 350. Stir frequently.
  • When the syrup begins to bubble around the heat ring set digital timer to 5 minutes. Stir constantly, especially around the heat ring. I use a silicon spatula.
  • After 5 minutes, turn temp to warm. Add vanilla. Stir. Add marshmallows and chips. Stir until both are melted. Remember to turn off the skillet!
  • Pour (or spoon) into prepared pan. Let cool until almost set, then cut into desired size.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to ensure the fudge has enough room to spread and cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fudge, as it can easily become grainy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the fudge is done. Drop a small amount of fudge into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Mexican skillet fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and gooey texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Mexican skillet fudge a try!
