Crunchy Fudge Drops Recipes

CREME DROP FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. Line a 8 x 8 inch square pan with wax paper or parchment paper. In a microwave safe glass bowl (I use a 4 cup glass measuring cup), mix all ingredients, I like to dice the creme drops into 4 pieces. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes.
• 2. It will come out soupy just keep stirring very quickly and it will thicken up pretty fast. Make sure that you stir very well making sure that any of the white center that may have clumped a little gets dissolved.
• 3. Spread into prepared pan and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into small pieces and store in covered container in the refrigerator.
• 4. TIPS: If not fully melted microwave a little longer. If you want it more chocolaty add 2 handfuls of chocolate chips. If fudge is too soft reduce butter to 1 Tablespoon.

CREME DROP FUDGE / TASTES LIKE TOOTSIE ROLL

Steps:

• A picture of the cream drops in case you don't remember them.
• Place ingredients in a 1 1/2 - 2 quart crock pot.
• Secure a couple of layers of paper towels with lid to absorb any condensation during the cooking process. Turn to low and cook for 45 minutes - an hour.
• Remove lid and stir. Replace lid and cook additional 15 - 45 minutes until all ingredients have been completely melted and can be stirred until smooth and glossy looking, making sure there are no lumps left.
• This is what it looked like after first stir. ( 45 min )
• Pour mixture into an 8"x8" foil lined pan that has been lightly greased. Let sit for at least 3 - 4 hours on counter top until completely cooled before cutting.

FUDGE DROPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Melt the chocolate and butter together (double boiler or microwave). Stir until well melted.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add the espresso powder (optional), vanilla, baking powder and salt, then stir into melted chocolate, mixing well.
• Stir in the flour. Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes to thicken; it should be the consistency of thick cake batter.
• Drop the cookie dough in round blobs onto a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches in between dough balls (mine were never "balls" but more liquidy). You may place a nonpareil or kiss in the middle, if desired (I didn't).
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes,until the tops are shiny and cracked. You want them to bake all the way through but just barely; additional baking time will make them cakey and not fudgy.
• Remove cookies from oven, wait 5 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool.
