Christmas Fudge # 1 Gram Fraser
Here is John's Christmas Sweet Treat
I found two fudge recipes, and I'm not sure now which one I made more often, but I think it was the 'fantasy fudge': Fantasy Fudge:
12 oz. package chocolate chips (2 cups)
7 ounce jar marshmallow creme
Combine butter, sugar and milk and bring to boil. Stir to keep from sticking to bottom of pan, and boil 5 minutes, or to 234 degrees on candy thermometer. Stir in chocolate until melted, then marshmallow
creme and stir. Add walnuts and vanila. Blend together and pour into greased 13 x 9 pan. Cool at room temperature, and cut to store.
Christmas Fudge # 2 Gram Fraser
13 ounce can evaporated milk
Bring to rolling boil, boil 8 minutes, (stirring) then remove from heat and add:
8 ounce package tiny marshmallows
18 ounce package chocolate chips
Stir until melted, and add:
This sets very fast, so you need to WORK fast to get it spread on a large, ungreased pan before you have a large FUDGE BALL. Cut in squares when cool.
Peanut Butter Fudge # 1 Gram Fraser
2 C granulated sugar
2/3 C milk
1 C Marshmallow creme
1 C peanut butter ( I use chunky - and don't add nuts)
1 t vanila
Combine sugar and milk in pot, bring to boil, stirring so it doesn't stick to bottom of pan, and cook to soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add marshmallow crème, peanut butter and vanilia. Pour into greased 8x8 inch pan, chill, and cut in squares. If you use smooth peanut butter, you will want to add chopped peanuts before spreading in cooling pan.
Dear Jane, A couple more recipes for you. The last recipe is the one I have made with good luck.
