Vanilla Fudge:

Ingredients
2 cups sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon light-colored corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Broken nuts (optional)

Directions
1. Line an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil; set aside.

2. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, evaporated milk, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to boiling. Carefully clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook over medium-low heat to 238 degrees F., soft-ball stage, stirring frequently. This should take 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Cool without stirring to 110 degrees F (about 45 minutes). Remove candy thermometer from saucepan. Carefully stir butter into cooked mixture to incorporate. Beat mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until fudge becomes very thick (about 8 minutes total). Immediately spread fudge into prepared pan. Score into squares while warm. If desired, top each square with a nut piece. When candy is firm, use the foil to lift it out of pan. Cut into squares. Makes about 1 pound (32 servings).

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare and cut fudge as above. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, cut up

Mint-Layer Fudge:

Directions
1. Line an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter the foil; set pan aside.

2. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In the saucepan combine granulated sugar, milk, chocolate, and corn syrup. Cook over medium-high heat to boiling, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar. This should take about 5 minutes. Avoid splashing mixture on sides of pan. Carefully clip candy thermometer to side of pan.

3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 234 degree F, soft-ball state. Mixture should boil at a moderate, steady rate over the entire surface. Reaching soft-ball stage should take 20 to 25 minutes.

4. Remove pan from heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Cool, without stirring, to lukewarm (110 degree F). This should take about 55 minutes.

5. While the fudge is cooking, prepare the mint mixture. Place the 3 tablespoons butter and the creme de menthe into a small mixer bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Cover and set aside.

6. Remove candy thermometer from saucepan. Beat vigorously with the wooden spoon until fudge becomes very thick and just starts to lose its gloss. This should take about 7 minutes. Quickly turn fudge into prepared pan. Dollop mint mixture over fudge; press mint mixture evenly over fudge. Sprinkle nuts over mint mixture; press in lightly. While fudge is warm, score it into 1-inch squares. When candy is firm, use the foil to lift it out of the pan; cut candy into squares. Store tightly covered. Makes 64 pieces or about 1-3/4 pounds.

Make-Ahead Tip: Up to 2 weeks ahead prepare fudge. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container.
