How to Make Fudge

You will learn how to make the best fudge ever!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 Cups Sugar
• 1 Cup Butter
• 1 Can Evaporated Milk
• 1 Bag Milk Chocolate Chips
• 1 Jar Marshmallow Cream
• 2 tsp. Vanilla
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts
• 1 Candy Thermometer
• 1 Mixing Spoon
• 1 Spatula
• 1 9x13 Pan
• 1 Medium Pot
• Stove Top

1. Pour 1 can evaporated milk into pot

2. Place 1 cup of butter into pot

3. Melt the butter into the milk on 7 (between high and medium heat)

4. While waiting for your butter to melt open your bag of milk chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, measure out 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and have your teaspoon ready for the vanilla.

5. Also while waiting butter your 9x13 pan.

6. Once butter is melted completely add 4 cups of sugar

7. Place candy thermometer on side of pot using the clip. Be sure the candy thermometer is not touching the bottom of the pot by placing the mixing spoon under the thermometer.

8. Bring the sugar, butter and evaporated milk mix to a soft ball stage indicated by the candy thermometer. I have found that 240 is the best otherwise the fudge will be too crumbly.

9. Mix your mixture the entire time, be sure to stir under the candy thermometer as well.

10. Once your mixture reaches the soft ball stage immediately add 1 bag of milk chocolate chips.

11. Use a spatula to get the marshmallow cream out and place in pot.

12. Stir for a brief moment before adding in 2 teaspoons of vanilla and the 1/2 cup chopped walnuts already measured from earlier.

13. Stir your mixture thoroughly.

14. Once stirred thoroughly pour into buttered 9x13 pan.

15. Shift pan side to side to help level the fudge out.

16. At this point if you like walnuts you can add more chopped walnuts to the top of the finished fudge.

17. Wait at least an hour for your fudge to cool before cutting into it, do not place it in the fridge while cooling, this will cause it to cool too fast and crumble.

18. Cut squares to approximately 1 inch by 1 inch this should give you 117 pieces of fudge.

Tips & Warnings

• Open and measure out all ingredients before starting.
• Place pot in water immediately after pouring out mixture this will make it easier to wash the pot.
• Do not place finished fudge in fridge to cool.
