Five Pound Marshmallow Fudge Food

MARSHMALLOW FUDGE

Steps:

• Lightly brush an 8-inch baking pan with butter, then line with parchment, leaving 2-inch overhang on two sides. Lightly butter parchment.
• In a medium saucepan, combine remaining 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, then cook for 3 minutes more, until pale golden and thickened slightly. Remove from heat and stir in marshmallows until mostly melted, then add chocolate and vanilla. Stir until chocolate and marshmallows have melted completely and mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared pan; smooth top with a spatula.
• Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Remove parchment with fudge from pan and cut into 36 squares. Fudge can be stored refrigerated, covered with plastic, up to 1 week.

MY MOTHER'S BEST FUDGE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Before beginning, take a large dish (at least 9 x 12 or larger) and butter it, getting it ready for the fudge to be poured into when the fudge is finished.
• 2. In a heavy pan, add the sugar, evaporated milk, and 2 sticks of butter. Start heating this over medium heat to medium-high heat.
• 3. Heat to a boil and let it boil on low heat until it comes to a soft-ball stage.
• 4. At this point, add the vanilla. Do not let it go any longer. Do not continue cooking. It is very important to take it off at this point so it doesn't overcook or get sugary.
• 5. Add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Start stirring quickly into the hot mixture.
• 6. If you want nuts, add the nuts at this point.
• 7. Pour it into the greased pan. This will have to set for several hours before cutting because it is a very deep fudge and makes 5 pounds. PATIENCE is worth the wait.

FIVE POUNDS OF FUDGE

Steps:

• Place chocolate, butter and marshmallow cream in large bowl. In heavy 4 quart saucepan bring to a boil milk and sugar, stirring constantly. When mixture reaches full rolling boil start timing and cook exactly 9 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over chocolate mixture and beat until well blended. (I use a mixer for all of this) Beat in vanilla and stir in nuts. Pour into buttered 15x10x1 jelly roll pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate 12 to 24 hours.

FIVE POUNDS CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; set it aside.
• Combine the sugar and evaporated milk in a buttered(very important)Dutch oven. (If you don't butter the sides, your sugar could crystallize and ruin the fudge.).
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches soft ball stage, or candy thermometer registers 234 degrees.
• Pour over chocolate chip mixture.
• Beat at high speed with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss. (I just use a spoon, you don't have to beat this very long.).
• Stir in vanilla and chopped pecans.
• Spread fudge evenly into a buttered 15 x 10 jellyroll pan. (I usually put in waxed paper and butter the waxed paper. It comes out very easily that way if you want to cut it out of the pan, not in it.).
• Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
• I cut it into 1" squares, so it makes 150 servings.

FIVE POUND MARSHMALLOW FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. In heavy saucepan boil milk, sugar, and margarine. 2. Boil for 7 minutes on medium heat. 3. Remove from heat. 4. Add chocolate chips and marshmallow cream. 5. May add nuts if desired.
• 6. Beat (by hand) until chips and marshmallow cream are completely dissolved. 7. Pour into greased 9x12 casserole dish.
• Note: I use semi-sweet chocolate chips because this candy is very rich. Store in cool place but do not refrigerate as will tend to become sugary.
