Description
I recently made jackieohno!'s recipe #386677 and that showed me that it can actually be pretty easy to make fudge. So, it got my creative juices flowing and i decided to try to play around and see what i can do come up with a new fudge recipe. I love dark chocolate and so that is the direction i went and threw in the other ingredients to try to cut through the richness. I included a couple hours chilling time in the cooking time but really the longer you leave it the better it gets.
Ingredients
- Reduced-fat Evaporated Milk
- Sugar
- Salt
- Dark Chocolate
- Marshmallows
- Vanilla
- Raw Cashews
- Dried Cranberries
Instructions
- Put the evaporated milk, sugar and salt into a pan and bring to the boil
- Allow to boil for 5 minutes, stirring all the time and then remove from the heat
- Stir in the broken up dark chocolate, and marshmallows and keep stirring until it is all melted
- Stir in the vanilla followed by the nuts and cranberries
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 inch square pan
- Try to resist licking the spoon too much!
- Smooth out the mixture so that it is as flat as possible on the top and put into the fridge to cool
- The longer it is in the fridge the more firm the fudge gets and the more the richness mellows out
- Overnight would be fantastic but you can eat it just fine after a couple hours
- Cut up into squares and enjoy
