Fantasy Fudge
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) margarine
3 cups sugar
1 can (5 oz.) evaporated milk
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi sweet chocolate chips *
1 jar (7 oz.) Marshmallow creme
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional) **
1 tsp. vanilla
Recipe
Lightly grease a 13 x 9 or a 9 x 9 inch pan. Mix margarine, sugar and milk in a heavy 2 1/2 to 3 qt. saucepan. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a full, rolling boil while stirring constantly. Continue stirring constantly to avoid scorching and boil for 5 minutes or until mixture reaches 234 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage~ when a drop of the mixture holds its shape when dropped into cold water. The drop will flatten when touched.). Remove from heat. Gradually stir in chips, stirring until melted. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well blended and smooth. Pour into prepared pans and cool at room temperature. Makes 3 pounds of candy.
Now for the fun part...
* Use any flavor of chips instead of semi sweet chocolate... Butterscotch, peanut butter (divine!), mint chocolate, chocolate-raspberry). I've used them all and
love to surprise people! If you're doing this with a friend, one of you could cook peanut butter fudge while the other makes chocolate fudge, and you could marble them together... Or make two pans with peanut butter on the bottom (using half the batch in each pan) and chocolate on top! If you use the white chocolate baking chips you could substitute ** chopped dried fruit or candied cherries for the nuts... Can't you just see the red and green sparkling in the white chocolate fudge?
Have fun with this and let your imagination take you on an adventure!
