Flo's Famous Fudge
Creamy chocolate fudge recipe created by my grandmother after years of perfecting her technique. The instructions in her own words are very specific - and our family follows them to the letter!
Equipment
- "I do like a wooden spoon to stir," says Flo.
- "Be sure to use a measuring cup"
- "Use a glass or Pyrex or any dish you like. I try to use a dish about 6 or 7 inches wide and about 10 inches long. Square dish you can use also."
- "Heavy pan with a handle to hold onto."
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 large Tbsp margarine
- 6 ounces evaporated milk ("Carnation or Pet... I like Pet he best")
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 6 ounces Nestle's Chocolate Morsels (semi-sweet)
- 1 cup (packed) mini marshmallows
- 12-15 additional mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Take the wrapper off the butter and use it to grease the dish. Measure and set aside all ingredients. Be sure to use a measuring cup. Use a heavy pan with a handle to hold onto.
- Put butter and margarine and milk on slow fire until all is melted. Then start adding sugar until all is dissolved. I do like a wooden spoon to stir. Put on rather slow fire and keep stirring as it burns easy. You sure have to watch it close.
- After it comes to a full boil, cook for about 9 minutes. Then take from the fire and add chocolate morsels, and keep stirring, then add marshmallows. When all is dissolved, quickly add vanilla and as it starts to thicken, pour at once into dish or pan. Use a glass or Pyrex or any dish you like. I try to use a dish about 6 or 7 inches wide and about 10 inches long. Square dish you can use also.
- I usually put it in the ice box until cool but not cold.
