Mary in VA Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 When I was in college, a looooong time ago, my roommates and I made fudge for Christmas presents for friends. It is the recipe that uses evaporated milk, chocolate chips, and marshmallows. I can find a recipe for a smaller batch like that, but the one we made resulted in a HUGE batch, and multiplying a recipe sometimes doesn't work right with candy. It was great for making gifts. Can anyone help me with that recipe? Thanks, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Personally, I prefer to do it in small batches. I think big batches turn out grainy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorCalMom Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ok...I think I found it. It's called Five-Minute Fudge. It was in my grandmother's old McCall's cookbook. 1 can (6 oz.) evaporated mild, undiluted 1 2/3 cups sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 1/2 cups diced marshmellows 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate pieces 1 tsp vanilla extract 1. Grease 9x9 pan 2. In medium saucepan, combine evaporated milk with sugar and salt; bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, 5 minutes. 3. Remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients, stirring until marshmellows melt. 4. Pour into prepared pan; let cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm fairly sure you are looking for the fudge recipe from carnation. http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18456/CARNATION-Famous-Fudge/detail.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Sounds like you are talking about the Nestle Famous Fudge Kit that Walmart sells at holidays. That is what we use and it tastes so good!! I also agree the bigger batches never taste well in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama2Many4 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The best fudge I've ever had and grew up on is the recipe on the back of the Fluff container. You know, the white marshmallow stuff you put on peanut butter sandwiches. Yup, that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary in VA Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks everyone. I guess I'll just go with small batches as Mrs. Mungo recommended. That way I can go with and without nuts, since some are allergic or don't like them. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If you've seen Airplane..."No, I didn't mean graham crackers, and stop calling me Shirley!" :D And thank goodness the fluff is fat free since I ate an entire jar of it by myself last week! :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I have what is supposedly the See's fudge recipe. I do not like marshmallow cream fudge. this is very easy and fills a 9x9 square pan a good inch deep. Not sure how many pounds that is. My 19yo son has been making it for a few years now. 4 1/2 C sugar 1 can evaporated milk 1/2 lb butter stir continuously on med heat until 240F. add 12 oz (2 cups) chocolate chips 1 tsp vanilla. beat with rotary beater for three minutes (going over is more likely to make it grainy). I line my 9x9 with foil, then it can be easily removed for cutting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
