MOM B'S FIVE MINUTE FUDGE
2/3 cup Evaporated Milk
1-2/3 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1-1/2 cup Marshmallows (Miniatures work best)
1-1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (Semi-sweet)
1 tsp Vanilla
Combine Milk, Sugar and Salt in saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly (start
timing when the mixture starts to “bubble” around the corners of
the pan). Remove from heat. Add Marshmallows, Chocolate Chips and
vanilla. Stir vigorously for 1 minute (or until Marshmallows are
completely melted and blended). Pour into a buttered 8″ square
pan. Cool until it doesn't fall out or slosh around in pan. Eat!
You like nuts? Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts before pouring in
pan. But I like my chocolate rush straight, without the healthy
granola additives. I refuse to even think about absurdities like
crushed candy cane…
For the totally inept in the kitchen, or, Kids – Don't Try
This At Home. Don't leave out ingredients. So what if you can't
find the vanilla. If you leave it out the fudge will taste about
the same, but it will be hard enough to use as asphalt patch.
You'll ruin the pan using a chisel to get the fudge out. Don't
overcook! Who wants fudge that has strange hard things floating
in it. Mix well. You should end up with a uniform texture about
the same appearance as Hersheys Syrup. It has to cool before it
turns solid. Buttering the pan means putting just a little butter
or margarine on a clean piece of paper toweling and rubbing the
bottom of the pan with it. Pretend you're waxing the car. Same
idea, just grease it up.
