Categories     Chocolate Fudge

Time 2h35m

Yield 117

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ (12 ounce) bags semisweet chocolate chips
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 cup margarine
4 ½ cups white sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Put chocolate chips and marshmallow creme in a large mixing bowl with margarine.
  • Combine sugar and evaporated milk in a large pot over medium-low heat. Stir constantly and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low. Continue to stir gently, making sure you do not scrape the edge of the pot. Use a candy thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature, and heat mixture to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), 7 to 10 minutes. A small amount of syrup dropped into cold water should form a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
  • Pour hot sugar mixture over the ingredients in the mixing bowl; stir until combined. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extract until well combined.
  • Line a 9x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper. Pour in fudge mixture and cool in the refrigerator until completely set, about 2 hours.
  • Remove fudge from the refrigerator. Run a sharp knife under hot water and cut fudge into 1-inch squares.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons: Make sure the persimmons are soft and slightly squishy to the touch. Avoid persimmons that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Use a food processor or blender: This will help to create a smooth and creamy fudge. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the persimmons by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: The fudge should be cooked until it reaches a soft ball stage. This means that when you drop a small amount of the fudge into cold water, it will form a soft ball that can be easily picked up with your fingers.
  • Let the fudge cool completely: Once the fudge has been cooked, let it cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help the fudge to set properly.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container: The fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Persimmon fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture and sweet, slightly tart flavor, persimmon fudge is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, give persimmon fudge a try. You won't be disappointed!
