This is a very easy fudge recipe. No hours of cooking and stirring. It is creamy, great for a chocolate fix and I have yet to find anyone who doesn't enjoy the creamy chocolate richness. Ingredients:
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa |
1/2 cup butter (don't use margarine) |
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup half-and-half cream |
1 cup chocolate chips |
1 teaspoon orange extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped nuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Line an 8 inch square pan with foil, extending it over the edges. Lightly grease the foil.
2. Mix the sugar and cocoa; set aside.
3. In a saucepan, heat the butter, milk and chocolate chips; heat until butter and chips melt and mixture is smooth.
4. Stir in extracts, sugar/cocoa mixture and nuts if using.
5. Pour into foil lined pan and chill for at least one hour; use foil to lift fudge out of the pan and cut into squares.
6. Variations- use any other flavor of chips, omitting the orange extract; other steps remain the same.
7. Also for a wonderful chocolate almond flavor, omit the orange extract and use 1 teaspoons of Almond extract.
