My MIL passed away this Friday night and I miss her already. ZAAR member Zurie told me to celebrate her life so I am posting her secret recipe for fudge which she passed on to me. What a joker! Although she was famous for her fudge we never caught on that it was the recipe on the back of the Fluff jar! So this reminds me of my MIL and I will miss her very, very much. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter (i use unsalted) |
5 ounces evaporated milk (3/4 cup) |
7 1/2 ounces marshmallow cream |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla |
12 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped or 1/2 cup substitute pecans |
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherry, folded in after cooking |
1 cup mini marshmallows, folded in before pouring into the baking dish |
Directions:
1. Butter a 9 inch square baking pan.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan, stirring over low heat until blended.
3. Heat to a full-rolling boil being careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles for boiling. Boil slowly, stirring constantly, 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate until chocolate is melted.
5. Add nuts and any optional ingredients. Turn into greased pan and cool.
6. Cut into little squares and bring to your mother-in-law and make some memories.
