My Grams 5 Lb Fudge Recipes

FIVE POUNDS CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; set it aside.
• Combine the sugar and evaporated milk in a buttered(very important)Dutch oven. (If you don't butter the sides, your sugar could crystallize and ruin the fudge.).
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches soft ball stage, or candy thermometer registers 234 degrees.
• Pour over chocolate chip mixture.
• Beat at high speed with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss. (I just use a spoon, you don't have to beat this very long.).
• Stir in vanilla and chopped pecans.
• Spread fudge evenly into a buttered 15 x 10 jellyroll pan. (I usually put in waxed paper and butter the waxed paper. It comes out very easily that way if you want to cut it out of the pan, not in it.).
• Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
• I cut it into 1" squares, so it makes 150 servings.

MY MOTHER'S BEST FUDGE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Before beginning, take a large dish (at least 9 x 12 or larger) and butter it, getting it ready for the fudge to be poured into when the fudge is finished.
• 2. In a heavy pan, add the sugar, evaporated milk, and 2 sticks of butter. Start heating this over medium heat to medium-high heat.
• 3. Heat to a boil and let it boil on low heat until it comes to a soft-ball stage.
• 4. At this point, add the vanilla. Do not let it go any longer. Do not continue cooking. It is very important to take it off at this point so it doesn't overcook or get sugary.
• 5. Add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Start stirring quickly into the hot mixture.
• 6. If you want nuts, add the nuts at this point.
• 7. Pour it into the greased pan. This will have to set for several hours before cutting because it is a very deep fudge and makes 5 pounds. PATIENCE is worth the wait.
