No Fail Fudge

I’ve always received great compliments on this fudge recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2/3 cup Carnation milk
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows (4oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Step 1

In a medium heavy duty pot on medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk and salt. Bring to a full rolling boil stirring constantly about 4 to 5 minutes until the soft ball stage is reached. Soft ball stage has a temperature between 234 and 238 degrees. Without a candy thermometer you can judge the stage when the candy mixture dropped in cold water has a soft texture and will stick together in a ball when rolled between your fingers.

Step 2

I like to roast my pecans before adding to the mixture. Here is a quick way. In the microwave, heat the pecans for 2 minutes, stopping and stirring at one minute intervals.

Step 3

Remove from heat and stir in the marshmallows, nuts, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Stir for one minute or until it's all melted.

Step 4

Pour into a glass-buttered pan, spread evenly, and cool for about 50 minutes. Then cut the fudge and serve!
