Foolproof Fudge (printable
version)
My mother has been using this recipe that she found in a
magazine for years. Everybody loves it. And it's easy.
3 cups (18 oz) semi-sweet
chocolate chips
1 - 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
dash of salt
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp butter or margarine
½ to 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Line 8 or 9 inch square pan or
baking dish with aluminum foil. Generously butter foil; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan or
double-boiler, melt chocolate chips along with Condensed milk & salt.
Remove from heat. Stir in nuts (optional) & vanilla. While still
warm, spread evenly into prepared foil-lined dish.
Chill 2 hours or until firm.
When firm, turn fudge upside down & remove foil. Cut fudge into squares.
Store covered in refrigerator.
Marshmallow Variation:
Omit nuts. Stir in 2 tbsp butter or margarine with vanilla. Fold in
2 cups miniature marshmallows (white or colored). Proceed with rest of
recipe.
Yields about 2 pounds.
