A Cookie A Day...Day 2
| By Annie Maxwell A Cookie A Day...Day 2 Not exactly a cookie, but fudge can be a great Christmas gift to give (or receive)! Adding a little piece of peppermint to the top will add some Christmas spirit to your gift. The best fudge I've ever made was the No Fail Fudge, or Fantasy Fudge as I've heard it called (with marshmallows).  Kraft has a recipe which I think is one of the best, and omitting the nuts will result in this recipe being very frugal ($5 or under for a batch that will yield enough gifts for several people): 3 cups sugar 3/4 cup margarine 1 can (5 oz.) evaporated milk 1 pkg. (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate pieces 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow creme 1 cup chopped nuts 1 tsp. vanilla Combine sugar, margarine and milk in heavy 2 to 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat or until candy thermometer reaches 234° F., stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate pieces until melted. Add marshmallow creme, nuts and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Pour into a greased 13-by-9-inch pan. Cool at room temperature. Cut into squares. Makes 3 pounds. Courtesy of ThatsMyHome.com. This website also has other fudge recipes which you may find useful in gift giving. I can remember one time when I made the fudge for a boss at Christmas, and accidentally substituted almond flavoring for vanilla. The fudge was still delicious! |
