BROWN SUGAR FUDGE

Steps:

• ** I used Low Fat Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk and it came out GREAT!
• Put everything in a glass bowl. To start I didn't even mix anything. Place in the microwave for 10 minutes, only then stopping about every 2 minutes to mix.
• Put tinfoil in a 8x8 pan with it overhanging the sides. I sprayed it with a bit of Pam (no cook spray). I don't like rounded corners in pans so I used a square Tupperware plastic freezer container I have. An easy way to get the tinfoil to fit is to place the tinfoil on the outside of the container squishing it to form all around. Then pop it off and put it inside the container.
• After ten minutes in the microwave, let mixture slightly cool. Beat with electric beater for 5 minutes.
• Pour into your 8x8 pan. Let cool in the fridge for about 3 hours.

BROWN SUGAR FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8-inch pan.
• Bring brown sugar, evaporated milk, and butter to a boil in a large saucepan; boil mixture for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add confectioners' sugar. Beat fudge with an electric mixer on medium speed for exactly 5 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Spread fudge into the prepared pan and let cool before cutting into squares.

DIVINE DIVINITY FUDGE

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Put the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, bring to a boil and cook until the temperature reaches 260 degrees F on a candy thermometer, or the hard-ball stage, when a bit of the mixture dropped into cold water holds its shape, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour in a thin steady stream into the beaten egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla, and continue beating on high just until the candy starts to lose its gloss, 5 to 6 minutes. When the beaters are lifted, the mixture should fall in a ribbon that mounds on itself.

BURNT SUGAR FUDGE

Steps:

• Mix four cups of sugar and cream in large heavy pan and bring to boil.
• Put remaining 2 cups of sugar into a heavy skillet and place on low heat, stirring constantly until sugar is completely melted and looks like brown syrup, light brown in color.
• When sugar is melted pour into 1st boiling mixture. Mix well and let cook until it makes a firm ball when dropped in cold water. (Can use a candy thermometer too.)
• Set off fire and stir in soda, until mixture foams.
• Add butter and stir until melted.
• Let mixture set for 20 minutes and then add vanilla and beat until heavy.
• Stir in nuts and pour into a buttered pan.
• Let cool and cut in squares.

PORTUGUESE BURNT SUGAR CANDY

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and vinegar. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture turns a deep golden brown, or use a candy thermometer. The temperature should reach 300 degrees F (149 degrees C). Remove from the heat, and pour onto two well buttered heavy dinner plates.
• When the candy begins to harden, pull from around the edges of the plates. Stretch into long ropes and cut into pieces with kitchen scissors, giving each piece a twist. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin. Be careful! The candy will be very hot while pulling and cutting.

GRANDMA'S BROWN SUGAR FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar & milk in saucepan, and stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
• Cook over medium-high heat until mixture reaches the "soft ball" stage (about 235 degrees).
• Remove from heat, and add butter & vanilla.
• Mix until smooth & creamy. Fudge will lose its shine and feel somewhat gritty on the bottom of the pot.
• Pour into buttered 9 x 13 glass pan.
• Let partially set and cut into squares.
