Best Ever Fudge
4 cups of white sugar
1 can evaporated milk
1 big cooking spoon white Karo
1 stick of butter, (I always use real butter)
Put all ingredients in a 4 qt heavy pot. Cook to the soft
ball stage, or when a little dropped into some cold water
forms a solid ball.
Remove from fire. Add 1 cup peanut butter, and
1/2 cup Reese's peanut butter chips. Also add
1/2 jar(7oz jar) of marshmallow cream.
1 teaspoon vanilla
Now here is my secret, instead of you stirring by hand, I
use my portable hand mixer. If sets up the fudge in half the
time. And my arms are not good for stirring with a spoon any
more. When you see it is thickening, pour into a well butter
9X13 pan. Let it cool completely, before cutting into
squares.
If I want to make chocolate pecan fudge, instead of the
peanut butter and chips, I add 1/2 bag of chocolate morsels
semi sweet, and a large handful of milk chocolate morsels.
The rest is the same. Add the nuts whole, they will chop up
when you use the mixer. Blessing to all of the wonderful
cooks out there, and much Blessing to our wonderful Nancy
for all of her hard work.
