VANILLA FANTASY FUDGE RECIPE FULL

Many people don't know this, but I was Recipezaar's first paid employee when was Recipezaar and Gay and Troy owned it. I enjoy hosting a chat room called #Recipezaar on, named after the old site. They and their momma are the light of my heart. I am grandma to Xavier Pryce (aka Zavy) who is 7, his little brother, Rylan James, who is 6 and Baby Wyatt who will be 3 in December. I like the picture because it reflects me and my love of the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains near Wellington Lake. I am a little heavier, my hair is not permed anymore and is straight with a slight wave to it, almost to my waist with a touch of grey at my temples. The face is mostly the same, but atlas.everything has aged by about 20 years. It was taken during a very sweet time of my life many years ago. Love this kind of fudge! Hope this helps you make yours a success as well.Ĭlick here to get to chat: client=web&chan=%23Recipezaar The picture above is of me, but is not a very recent one. Also, she always had me beat the fudge, after pouring in the vanilla, until it had a high gloss shine. Never scrape the sides of the pan to 'clean' the remaining fudge mixture off of the sides of the pot, or the same thing will happen. Also, the same applies when pouring the mixture into the buttered pan. NOTE: I had to remember what my mother told me as a little girl, which was NEVER scrape the sides of the pot during while adding the last ingredients because even one (1) grain of sugar re-stirred into the mixture will cause the fudge to be gritty and grainy as the sugar re-crystalizes - use water on a brush to get all of the sugar off of the sides if necessary.

(just like the recipe says for those of you who don't have a thermometer). I did note, that even with my candy thermometer that after the mixture comes to a rolling boil, it takes about 5 minutes exactly to come to the 230 degree temp. I made it with Milk Chocolate Chips this time, but I think I will stick with Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips in the future because I like a more rich and deep chocolaty flavor. Yes, I know there’s a microwave version, but if you want the best of the best in easy fudge, make this on the stove.I made this recipe today and it was very easy to make. Whatever you do, do NOT microwave this recipe. If you use a different brand, then add a teaspoon of vanilla in with the chocolate chips. That’s because my sister and I both prefer Ghiradelli chocolate chips and they have a vanilla hint to them. You may notice the absence of vanilla in this recipe. If you don’t have a heavy pot, and can’t borrow one (on the promise of homemade fudge, it should be easy to borrow!), make it in whatever pot you have, but watch the heat and stir, stir, stir. If the pot is too thin, it’s really easy to scorch the fudge. Don’t worry, it’s not the kind of fudge that requires a candy thermometer, but a nice, heavy pot is a necessity. The biggest thing is to use a heavy pot to cook the fudge in. I’ve tried to make note of everything, because this is some good fudge.īack to the recipe. Since fudge can be tricky sometimes, she had lots of tips for us.

I knew she had been making the old version forever, so I asked her to show me how to make it the old fashioned way with the chocolate chips. When I told my sister I was looking for an easy dessert to make for the blog, she suggested this. And, if you’re like me, the Baker’s chocolate you may have is definitely out of date! I also believe more people have chocolate chips in their cabinet right now, rather than Baker’s chocolate. Why? The main reason is the fudge tastes so much better. The new recipe on the back of the marshmallow creme jar uses Baker’s chocolate. It’s made with marshmallow creme and chocolate chips. Be careful, this fudge is best within one day of making.įantasy fudge has been around a long time. Serve same day, or refrigerate for up to one day.

Pour into prepared pan spread to cover bottom of pan.

Add chocolate chips, marshmallow creme and vanilla (if using). If it's necessary to use a light weight pot, stir constantly so that your fudge doesn't scorch on bottom of pan.

As soon as mixture reaches a full boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Over medium high heat, bring sugar, butter and evaporated milk to full rolling boil in a heavy duty pot, stirring constantly as mixture heats up.You can either lightly grease the pan with a small amount of shortening or, line pan with aluminum foil (don't forget to cover sides in a 9x9 pan). A 9x9 pan will make a nice 'deep' fudge, or you can spread it on something bigger, it will just be thinner.
