This is a bigger recipe than my Mother In Law Fudge posting. The ingredient amounts are different and it is a very delicious candy. I made this the other day so it would ripen nicely in the fridge for a movie party and it was creamy, cut beautifully, and enjoyed immensely. The recipe makes close to four pounds and it is pot-licking wonderful! Ingredients:
3 cups granulated sugar |
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk |
1/4 cup butter (i used unsalted) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 cups mini marshmallows |
2 (12 ounce) packages nestle's semisweet chocolate morsels (i use what i have on hand) |
1 cup chopped pecans (i use 1 1/4 cups and dh says i need to use more) or 1 cup walnuts (i use 1 1/4 cups and dh says i need to use more) |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (i use home-made) |
Directions:
1. Line a 13 x 9 pan with foil and leave some hanging over the edge of the pan to lift it easily.
2. Combine the sugar, milk, butter and salt in a 4 - 5 cup heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and keep stirring and boil for 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add marshmallows, nuts, morsels, vanilla. Stir vigorously for 1 minute or until the marshmallows are totally melted.
4. Pour into the prepared pan and refrigerate for two hours. Cut the fudge into tiny squares and refrigerate tightly covered.
5. ***I take my fudge out of the fridge when it fully sets and wrap it into 1/4 pound portions with plastic wrap and store in a container with a tight lid, in the fridge. I also let it ripen before serving as it develops a wonderful taste and texture after a couple of days. It keeps for a couple of weeks tightly wrapped.
