Famous Fudge

Need to bake a quick and easy holiday treat for your family and friends? No need to worry, fudge is always a delicious and fun holiday treat to make that'll leave you're guests wanting more! Although it is a simple recipe that you can do by yourself, it can also be a family activity. Let's get started with this scrumptious fudge recipe from the book, Cooking In Style The Costco Way & under "Desserts."

Recipe:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup (5 ounce can) Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk
2 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups miniature marshmallows (optional)
1 1/2 cup (9 ounces) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract




Steps:
1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil.
2. Combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt in a medium heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil stirring constantly, for 45 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. "Stir in marshmallows, morsels, nuts and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for 1 minute, or until marshmallows are melted." (Casey 184).
4. Pour into prepared baking pan and refrigerate.
*Remember to leave it in the fridge for two hours or longer, even overnight, until it is firm* (184).
5. Lift fudge from the pan and remove foil. Cut into pieces. Makes 49 pieces.


I left my fudge in the fridge overnight and it turned out perfectly and very delicious.
