I love fudge, but sometimes I just don't want all that chocolate....don't tell anyone I said that!!!! This is a great fudge, minus the chocolate. I found this recipe in TOH and did a make over on it to suit my taste. The original recipe calls for pecans, but we prefer walnuts in our fudge. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar |
1/2 cup half and half milk (you can use whipping cream) |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the butter, sugars, half and half and salt.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Once the mixture is boiling good, boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantley.
4. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and mix well.
5. Stir in confectioner's sugar, then fold in walnuts.
6. Spread mixture into a 8 square dish (the size of the dish is not an exact, use what ever size you desire to get the thickness you want).
7. Cover with plastic wrap and cool until room temperature.
8. Cut into 1 inch squares and store in airtight container in refridgerator.
