NO-COOK NEVER-FAIL FUDGE



No-Cook Never-Fail Fudge image

This recipe came from a dear friend of mine. It is an unbelievably delicious fudge! This fudge has been a hit with all who have tried it. Don't let them know the ingredients until they have tasted it; they still won't believe it has cheese in it. Also, it is easier to make if the recipe is halved. Pecans can be substituted for walnuts.

NEVER FAIL FUDGE



NEVER FAIL FUDGE image

Categories     Candy     Chocolate     Dessert     Christmas

Yield 5 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup butter (not margarine!)
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed!)
1 cup marshmallow cream
13 ounces Hershey's milk chocolate
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • combine butter, sugar, and evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Boil 5 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat. Quickly add and mix in the marshmallow cream and vanilla. When it is nearly mixed in, then add the chocolate and stir like heck! Add the nuts last and pour into buttered pan. Stir and pour quickly before it loses its gloss. Do not smooth out top once it is poured, otherwise it will break the gloss. Cool completely, then cut.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature.
  • Stir the fudge constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. If you cook it for too long, it will become grainy.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it set properly.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect fudge every time. Just remember to use the right ingredients, follow the instructions carefully, and be patient. And most importantly, enjoy the delicious fudge you've made!
