Marshmallow fudge
Introduction
This is an American style fudge
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
3/4 cup margarine
- 5 oz evapourated milk. (Not condensed milk! Not reduced cream!)
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate. Hershey's is best, Cadbury's chocolate doesn't melt "right"
Half a batch of MarshmallowCream
- 1 cup of nuts - optional
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Directions
Grease a 13" (33cm) x 9" (22cm) pan.
Combine sugar, margarine and evapourated milk in a large heavy saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring all the time. Continue boiling for five minutes over a medium heat or until candy thermometer reads 112oC (234oF or the soft ball stage) and stir all the time or it really will catch and burn.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate pieces until melted. Add the marshmallow cream, vanilla (and the nuts if you want). Stir by hand until well blended.
Pour into pan and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into bite sized pieces. Makes about 1.5kg.
