Does anyone have a really good fudge recipe they would like to share? I would like to start an online recipe swap. I would love to hear what your favorite fudge flavor is and maybe you could post the recipe so that we can all try them. My favorite fudge flavor is milk chocolate and mint chocolate, the one that is swirled light green & chocolate ( I would love this recipe), yummm!
Here is one recipe I tried and was very good.

Festive Fudge
3 cups (18 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
1 (14oz) can Eagle brand sweetend condensed milk
dash of salt
1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts, optional
1 1/2 teas vanilla extract

1. In a heavy saucepan; over ow heat, melt chocolate chips with eagle milkand salt.
Remove from heat; stir in nuts if desired and vanilla. Spread evenly into wax paper or buttered foil lined 8- or 9- inch square pan.
2. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board, peel off paper and cut into squares. Store covered in refrigerator.



Thanks

I couldn't resist this request. Here is another of my Grandmother's wonderful recipes. She made this every year and when she got to where she couldn't do it anymore it was handed over to me to take up the cause. I made this for my Dad every year until his death, it was his only request at Christmas...

Granny's Fudge

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
4 cups sugar
1 stick of butter
12 oz chocolate chips
10 oz marshmallow creme
2 tsp vanilla
2-4 cups chopped pecans (I use 4)

In large pot, mix together milk, sugar and butter.
Bring to a boil on moderate heat. Boil exactly 9 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and add chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Beat until
it loses its gloss. (I make this in cold weather and take it outside to stir, it reduces stirring time).
Add vanilla and beat some more, it will start to
thicken, I drop spoonfuls back into pan to see if it is starting to hold its shape. Finally, add the nuts and stir one more time, till it begins to hold its shape. Lay out waxed paper and drop by teaspoons and allow to cool. Store in tins.

This is a somewhat labor intensive recipe with all of the stirring involved, but believe me, it is absolutely the very best fudge. You can pour it into a pan and slice into pieces if you like. But,
to me, it tastes better if you drop it, probably
psychological, since that is how my granmother made it....

..okya, I'm in!! This may soun really strange but um, um, um it is Good!

Velveeta Fudge

1/2 # Velveeta Cheese
1/2 # butter or margarine
1/2 c. Cocoa
1/2 Tb Vanilla
2# powdered sugar
1/2 to 1 c. nuts

Slowly melt butter and Velveeta cheese in the microwave or stovetop. Add cocoa and vanilla. Mix well. Add powdered sugar and nuts. Mix well...it will be very stiff! The last pound of sugar may need to be added and mixed by hand as a hand blender just won't do it!

Press into buttered 9 x 13 cakepan and cool to room temp. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Rachel Ray was on Oprah last week and she shared her 5 minute fudge recipe and gave some variations to it....Here it is....



INGREDIENTS
12 ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (save the can)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounce can walnuts, plus more for topping
1/2 cup raisins or dried currants (a couple of handfuls)
candied red and green cherries to decorate top (like holly)
softened butter to grease an 8 inch round cake pan


Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with softened butter. Pour the chocolate and butterscotch chips, condensed milk and vanilla into a medium saucepan. Put the pan on the stove and turn the heat to low.
Cover the empty condensed milk can with plastic wrap and put it in the center of the round cake pan.
Stir the chips and milk until they melt together, about 3 minutes. Stir in nuts and raisins. Scoop the fudge into the cake pan all around the plastic-covered can in the center to form a wreath or ring shape. Let it be all bumpy on top. Keep pushing the can back to the center if the fudge moves it away from there. Cut the red cherries in half with scissors and the green cherries into quarters. Use the green pieces to make leaves and the red to make holly berries. Decorate the fudge with several groups of holly berry sprigs made from the cherries and garnish with walnuts between the sprigs.
Put the fudge in the fridge and chill until firm. Remove the can from the center, then loosen the sides and bottom of the fudge with a spatula. Cut the fudge into thin slices to serve.
To give the wreath as a gift-wrap in cellophane and secure with a bow or ornament.

Variations:
White Chocolate Wreath with Pistachio
and Cranberry

Substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips, 1 1/2 ounce bag plus 1 cup.
Substitute 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shelled natural pistachio nuts for walnuts.
Substitute 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries for currants.
Goober and Raisinette Wreath

Swap butterscotch for peanut butter chips
Swap large whole peanuts for walnuts used in original recipe (such as peeled Virginia Peanuts)
Swap 1/2 cup large raisins for currants in original recipe

All of a sudden I have a craving for fudge Here's my favourite!


Rocky Road Fudge

1 bag of chocolate chips(300g)
1 bag of butterscotch chips(300g)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cut peanut butter
1 bag of marshmallows(I put more than the regular 16 oz bag)


I used to make this in a double boiler, but I now just put it in the microwave. Melt everything except the marshmallow. When all melted, and not too hot, add the marshmallows. Mix well. Put in wax paper lined 9X13 dish. Refriderate until cold. Yum!

Okay, I have to ask MrsMissey...does your Velveeta fudge taste like the Velveeta or the chocolate???
Can't quite get this one to sound good...but, I'm game to try most everything at least once!

My absolute favorite is the kind that you find at the fudge shop, like in Gatlinburg, TN. It's got vanilla fudge on the top and bottom, and in the middle there is this layer of chewy caramel like stuff. It's called chewy vanilla praline fudge, I think. I've been searching for the recipe. If I find it I will gladly share it. Some things are just too good to keep to yourself!

I made the pumpkin fudge posted by bakerchick103 and it was soooo good. I used a little more spice and it came out perfect. If you like pumpkin and want something a little different, I highly recommend this recipe!!!

THANKS BAKERCHICK!!!

The velveeta fudge is excellent! I made it last year after I saw it on Paula Deen and didn't tell anyone what was in it and they all had a fit, said it was the best, creamiest fudge they'd ever had--then didn't believe me when I told them what was in it! It has a great chocolate flavor, and I like that it's not overly sweet or rich as fudge tends to be! It really doesn't taste like velveeta, it just makes it so smooth and creamy! YUMMY!

I guess this should go out to folks that live in the south. There is a fudge that my Grandma used to make for me when I was little... about 30 years ago. It was a thin fudge and was rather grainy with sugar. I do remember she would grease the plate/serving dish with butter. She also would put pecans in it.

Does anyone here from the south and around 38/40 years old remember it? I loved it. It was very simple, I just can't remember it being so young.

Thanks!

Wanda

there is another recipe here...

I wonder if you could change the vanilla chips tp chocolate if it would still turn out... I am so not good at recipoes and subsitutions...

Wandootie: Your description sounds just like the chocolate candy thay my parents make. My sister swears that it's better if dad makes it. It came from my grandmother and is very simple and not really like a typical fudge. Like you said, it's kind of grainy and really sugary. I always loved to smear the stick of butter around the platter when I was a kid. There never was any definite measurements on this. Standing at the counter with my dad scraping the hardened leftovers out of the pan was what we called quality time!!!
