The Best Fudge Recipes
Ingredients:
• 20 oz. Hershey's milk chocolate bars
• 1 cup butter (not margarine!), softened to room temperature. An extra butter for pans.
• 1-12 oz. package of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use a good brand, as in Nestle's, Hershey's, or Ghiradelli. If you prefer lighter fudge, use milk chocolate chips.
• 4 cups granulated sugar.
• 1 and 2/3 cups evaporated milk
• 2 and 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
• 2 teaspoons vanilla, use the real stuff
• 1 pound of nuts, chopped

In your large stainless steel bowl, break up the milk chocolate candy bars and the butter into small pieces. Pour in chocolate chips and set aside.

Grease your pans with butter. You'll need two 9x13 inch flat cake pans, but you can use smaller or larger pans depending on what you have available, and how thick you want your fudge to be. It's best to have a couple of extra smaller pans ready just in case.

In a large saucepan or pot, combine sugar, evaporated milk and mini marshmallows. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Tip: Don't scrape the sides of the pot when you are stirring, it tends to make candy taste grainy.

Cook and stir at a light but steady boil for 7 minutes. You might see some brownish bits floating around as its cooking. This is normal. Remove from heat, pour over butter and chocolate in your bowl.

With a wooden spoon, stir until melted and well blended. Continue to stir until candy loses some of it's shine. (The shine should go from a shiny, high gloss to a matte gloss). Stir in vanilla and nuts, if desired.* Pour into buttered pans. Cool completely before cutting into pieces. Use a knife dipped in hot water for cutting.

Now, you know how to make fudge. And not just any ordinary fudge, but the best fudge ever. So, make this homemade fudge recipes!!
