Posted in reply to a request. I didn't see any similar to this when searching. My mom got it from a church magazine in the early 1960's. Great for the biceps & triceps!

Time 55m

Yield 108 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

40 large marshmallows, divided
4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups canned milk (not sweetened condensed)
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, nestle preferred
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 lb butter or 1/2 lb margarine
1 cup chopped nuts (I never use them so I"m guessing)

Steps:

  • Place chocolate chips and butter in a pan (I use an 8 quart to have plenty of room for stirring).
  • Use the butter wrappers to grease a 9 x 13 pan.
  • Cut up 20 large marshmallows into the pan.
  • (Can use 2 C mini) Put in the freezer.
  • Place 20 large marshmallows, canned milk and sugar in 6-8 quart heavy pan.
  • Stirring, bring to a boil.
  • Continue to boil exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly (Don't worry if there are some darker streaks, just stir better).
  • Pour mixture over chocolate chips and butter.
  • Continue stirring until mixture looses it's shine and becomes glossy.
  • This can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes.
  • Stir in vanilla and frozen marshmallows.
  • (You can also add nuts at this point).
  • Return to the buttered pan and refrigerate.
  • I've made this in small tins for gifts by lining them with plastic wrap and placing a piece of cardboard, covered with parchment, on the bottom (inside the plastic wrap).

Tips:

- Use the right chocolate: For the best fudge, use high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids. This will give your fudge a rich, decadent flavor. - Don't overcook the fudge: Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. Cook the fudge until it reaches the desired temperature, then remove it from the heat immediately. - Let the fudge cool properly: Fudge needs time to cool and set properly. Allow the fudge to cool for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. - Store the fudge properly: Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also store fudge in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Fudge is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make perfect fudge at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fudge a try!
