Everyone needs some fudge in their life!


Fudge was invented in the United States more than 100 years ago. The exact origin is disputed, but most stories claim that the first batch of fudge resulted from a bungled batch of caramels. One of the first documentations of fudge is found in a letter written by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, a student at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NewYork. She wrote that her schoolmate's cousin made fudge in Baltimore in 1886 and sold it for 40 cents a pound. Miss Hartridge got hold of the fudge recipe, and in 1888, made 30 pounds of this delicious fudge for the Vassar Senior Auction. Word spread of this great confection to other women's colleges.



This is a great chocolate fudge recipe. It can be doubled.

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream
2 cups sugar
4 oz. chocolate chips
1/2 stick salted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 lb. chopped walnuts


1. Combine heavy cream, sugar and chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves. Wash down sides of pot with a pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals.

2. Bring to a boil and cook until mixture reaches soft-ball stage, or 238 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove pan from the heat and stop the cooking by plunging pot in a water bath for 1 minute. Add the butter and vanilla, but do not stir.

3. When the thermometer reads 110 degrees, mix fudge with a wooden spoon until creamy. Add the nuts and mix well.

4. Spoon into a greased 8 x 8 baking pan. Let cool and then cut into squares.

Yield: 1 lb.

EZ Fudge

1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips
1 (16 oz) tub chocolate frosting
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Microwave chocolate chips 1-2 minutes or until melted. In same bowl, stir in frosting, salt, and vanilla. Mix together until it loses its glossiness, pour into greased pan, let cool, cut into squares.

Cream cheese or vanilla frosting also works if making multiple recipes, subbing one or two of the chocolate frosting for another flavor.
