As not only a chocolate lover, but a person with a huge and I do mean huge sweet tooth, I know what its like to crave sweet chocolate. Nothing takes care of that craving like some smooth and creamy chocolate fudge. This recipe comes from my brother in law who shares my love of chocolate. This is the perfect recipe to make either just for yourself or then for that group of people coming to watch the game or have game night or whatever the occasion might be!
First off here is the list of the ingredients you will need and surprisingly there are not very many.
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 thirteen ounce jar of marshmallow crème
24 ounces of semi sweet or milk chocolate chocolate chips - most of the time this will be 2 bags
4 ½ cups white sugar
10 ounces ( or 12 ounces for creamier fudge) evaporated milk
2 sticks butter or margarine
After you have measured out or gotten your ingredients ready, you will need to put your vanilla, marshmallow crème in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Then in a five or six quart saucepan mix together your sugar, evaporated milk and two tablespoons butter or margarine by hand. Put over medium heat and boil until the mixture reaches 233 degrees. You will need to use a candy or digital thermometer to make sure you get it to the right temperature. Make sure you stir it constantly. If you want firmer fudge simply boil longer.
Once it has reached 233 degrees add the remaining butter or margarine and then heat the mixture to a boil again. Once it has boiled again, remove from the heat and pour immediately over the chocolate chips, marshmallow crème, and vanilla in the mixing bowl and mix together well.
After it is well mixed, pour into a 9" x 13" pan. Let it cool and then cut into squares and serve. Make sure you get what you want before your guests come over because there will be none of this yummy fudge left over for you!
