Fudge. It's a holiday staple right? As soon as Christmas carols start playing in stores and tinsel and ornaments can be found on the aisles of those same stores, people start thinking Fudge.
I'll admit something to y'all… that fudge up there, the first fudge that I've EVER made. I've never attempted fudge before because it always seemed daunting and you hear so many horror stories of how easily it can go horribly wrong.
Well (transparency disclosure coming) I was contacted and offered the chance to receive some coupons from Carnation and a grocery gift card to buy the ingredients to make something out of their recipe book as well as make something of my own because they want to really get the word out that Carnation Evaporated Milk isn't just for baking, It's the Cooking Milk. I figured this was the perfect opportunity to try Carnation's Famous Fudge. After all, they were paying for it! 
So, I got all my ingredients and I got to cooking, I have to admit the recipe was easier than I thought even though I totally bombed it the first time that I made it because I DID NOT bring it a FULL ROLLING BOIL! If you do not bring it to a full rolling boil and cook it per instructions, it will be a great ice cream topping but NOT FUDGE!
Carnation Famous Fudge
- 1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 2/3 C (5 oz can) Carnation Evaporated Milk
- 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 Cups Miniature Marshmallows
- 1 1/2 C (9 oz) Nestle' Tollhouse Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 1/2 C chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) *totally necessary Crunch Factor!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Line an 8 inch square baking pan with foil.
- Combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt in a medium heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in marshmallows, chocolate morsels, nuts and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute or until the marshmallows are melted. Pour into prepared baking pan; refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Lift from pan, remove foil. Cut into pieces (about 24).
My husband gave this recipe a huge thumbs up because it wasn't cloyingly sweet like so many other fudge recipes. I can't wait to try this with 1/2 dark chocolate morsels and 1/2 mint morsels, or even with butterscotch!!! NOM NOM
Stay tuned! Next week I'm going to share one of my own personal recipes that uses Carnation Evaporated Milk (and it's NOT a dessert!)
