I made this during the holidays to give out to the neighbors and my family ate it up instead. I found it in our local newspaper in an article of kitchen gifts for giving. It makes a big batch and isn't grainy like alot of fudges are. To ensure it sets properly, use a timer for the ten minutes on low boil.
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
8 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate (i used ghiradelli)
12 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate (i used baker's)
4 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk (i used lowfat)
1/2 teaspoon salt (i didn't use)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups hazelnuts
Directions:
1. Toast the hazelnuts (I broiled them for approximately 5-7 minutes until lightly browned).
2. Do not skip this step as the toasting really brings out the flavor.
3. Set aside.
4. Using cooking spray such as PAM, spray liberally a 9x13 inch pan PLUS an 8 inch square pan.
5. Measure out 1 1/4 cup of marshmallows and set aside for later use.
6. Place chopped/broken chocolate and the rest of the marshmallows in a large glass bowl.
7. In a pan, combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, salt, and 1 1/4 cups of marshmallows.
8. Bring to a low boil.
9. Keep at a low boil and stir for 10 minutes (or it won't set).
10. Remove from the stove, and add vanilla.
11. Pour mixture over the chocolate/marshmallows in glass bowl, stirring quickly as it will begin to set.
12. Add toasted hazelnuts.
13. Pour into sprayed pans and cool.
