Foolproof Chocolate Fudge

This is a perfect homemade gift for the kids to give their teacher, aunts and uncles or even grandparents. Let them try this one and see how easy fudge can be

3 (6 oz.) packages of chocolate bits, chips or morsels
1 (14 oz.)can any sweetened condensed milk (NOTE: Make sure it is NOT evaporated)
dash of salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cups chopped nuts, I use pecans, but any nut will do (optional)
In a heavy sauce pan, over low heat melt the chocolate bits with the condensed milk.

Remove from heat. Stir in the salt, vanilla and the nuts.

Now place some waxed paper into a 8 X 8 square pan. Pour the mixture into the square pan and spread evenly over the waxed paper. Chill 2 to 3 hours or until firm.

Turn the fudge onto a cutting board and cut it into squares. Can be stored loosely covered at room temperature


Makes about 1 3/4 pounds of fudge

SECRET HINT: to make it go farther use a larger pan for spreading, (maybe a 9X 11) the fudge will be in thinner squares, but will still be relished by your friends, family and company

Answer 5

Here is my favorite, no-cook fudge recipe, as handed down from my grandmother:

1 box of powdered (confectioner's) sugar
1 stick of butter
1 3 oz. block of cream cheese
Powdered cocoa to taste (approx. 1/4 cup, more if you like REALLY chocolate-y fudge!)
1 tsp. vanilla

Melt the butter and whip it with the cream cheese and vanilla till light and fluffy. Sift the cocoa and powdered sugar together and mix into butter/cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined. Pour/scrape out onto waxed paper, and shape with hands into a log (it helps if you butter your hands first - otherwise, you will have a lot of fun licking fudge off of your fingers!). Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate. Once set, slice log into desired thicknesses and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers....

You can also add chopped nuts and/or mini marshmellows once you have mixed in the powdered sugar and cocoa.

The "soft ball" stage simply means that, as you are cooking your candy mixture, you put a spoonful of it into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball - similar to a piece of salt-water taffy - it is at the "soft ball" stage and you should remove your candy mixture from the heat. If it doesn't form a ball at all, it needs to cook longer. If it forms a ball that is hard and/or cracks, it is at the "hard ball" stage and you have cooked it too long....

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNGWH

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
