Re: I need fudge recipes!! :)
I like this one for giving as gifts because it hold up well out of the fridge. It make a big batch, at least 2 gift's worth I'd say. It's an old family recipe, not sure where it came from originally.
Five Pound Fudge
4 1/2 C sugar
1/3 c margarine
Large Can Evaporated Milk
Pinch of salt
Combine the above in a heavy pan on medium high heat. Stir constantly until it reaches a full rolling boil. Then, turn heat down and continue stirring for six minutes. Remove from heat and add:
1 12 oz package chocolate chips
10 1/2 ox bag miniature marshmallows
Continue stirring until the fudge quits snapping and loses it's gloss (about 10 minutes). (This is a great job to have a DH help with.) Pour into buttered 9x13 pan (or tins of your choice). Let fully set before cutting. Best if kept refrigerated (set out for a little while for easier cutting).
Note: the trick to not getting grainy fudge is to not scrape the sides of the pan while doing all of this stirring.
