MALTED MILK FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and then line it with parchment so that the paper hangs over all the sides (this will allow you to remove the fudge from the pan).
• Combine the sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and salt in a large saucepot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and malted milk powder. With the speed set to low, slowly pour in the boiling sugar mixture and paddle until well combined.
• Pour the fudge into the prepared pan; tap the pan to even out the fudge. Evenly sprinkle the broken malted milk balls over the top of the fudge and lightly press them down into the fudge.
• Chill the fudge until completely cooled, about 3 hours. Remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into squares.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container.

FUDGE BALLS (NO BAKE)

• Combine butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, cook 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly (start timing when mixture starts to bubble around the edges of pan).
• Remove from heat; add marshmallows, chocolate chips, vanilla, walnuts, raisins and candied pineapple OR apricots.
• Stir vigorously for 1 minute (until marshmallows melt and are blended), working quickly, drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
• Store in an airtight covered container, in the fridge or out of the fridge.

FUDGE BALLS

• Microwave chocolate, milk and coffee in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.

• Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in desired coatings.

VELVEETA CHEESE FUDGE BALLS

Steps:

• Melt cheese and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally.Remove from heat and add vanilla. (You may also add the chopped nuts here, or save them for a garnish, later.).
• Sift together sugar and cocoa in a large bowl. Add cheese mixture and stir until it becomes stiff. Use your hands to finish the mixing.
• Once fudge is completely mixed (add more powdered sugar, a little at a time, if needed), pinch small sections off and roll into balls. Set on wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
• While chilling fudge balls, melt almond bark in double-boiler, over a low heat. If you have chosen to melt caramels, do so, as well, in a separate double-boiler.
• Place a skewer in each fudge ball. Then, dip into caramel, then almond bark, finally rolling in nuts. Or, use whatever combination you would like.
• These can be made a day or two before dipping--store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
