This is an OUT OF THIS WORLD old fashioned recipe that my gram always made when I was growing up, and she always brought it out when company came, and that was often! It is one of my 3 favorite fudge recipes, and it is DELICIOUS!!! I am posting the other 2 also. This fudge is different than most fudges, not the soft creamy kind... Has a different texture and taste... All I know, is it's one that will have you back in the dish searching for more, till it's gone :) Ingredients:
4 cups sugar |
4 tablespoons cocoa |
2 cups milk |
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter |
4 tablespoons marshmallow cream, heaping |
1 cup walnuts |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 tablespoon peanut butter, heaping (optional) |
Directions:
1. Stir first 4 ingredients together in a heavy cast iron pan. Bring to a boil.
2. Boil briskly until mixture forms a soft ball in a glass of cold water (238 degrees F using a candy thermometer).
3. Take off stove. Stir in marshmallow, walnuts and vanilla. You can also add a heaping T. of peanut butter too!
4. Pour in well greased 9x13 pan, and let cool.
5. Cut into 2 squares, and refrigerate if desired.
6. Store in airtight container.
7. Note: I can tell you from experience, it is best to use the candy thermometer, and DO NOT make on a rainy day, as it will not harden properly! I always make it with the peanut butter.
