Chocolate Fudge

**miffy** · 12-06-2008, 06:57 AM

This recipe was in the latest Creative Steps magazine - it's easy for the children to make and tastes yummy

450g icing sugar
100g white marshmallows
100g butter
2 heaped teaspoons of quality cocoa powder
Half teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons milk
vegetable oil
18cm shallow square baking tin
greaseproof paper
sieve
large bowl
scissors
saucepan
wooden spoon

Wipe the bottom and sides of baking tin with veg oil and line with greaseproof paper and oil this too

Sift icing sugar and cocoa powder into large bowl and make a well in the middle

Snip marshmallows into small pieces and put in small saucepan.Add milk,butter,vanilla essence.
Gently heat the mixture stirring with wooden spoon.

When everything has melted pour mixture into the well in the icing sugar. Beat everything together until smooth and then pour into baking tin

Spread fudge into corners of tin and place in fridge until firm (about 3 hrs)

When set run a knife round the edges of the fudge to help turn it out onto chopping board. Peel off greaseproof paper and cut into little pieces. Pop back into fridge and eat within one week.

We made this for father's day - we put it into some clear plastic pots the children decorated and they took it home as a pressie for their dads

Ooooh, proper fudge!

I love the stuff that's called fudge over here, don't get me wrong but I was confused as to me, fudge is chocolate. The recipe above sounds very similar to one I've been making since I was a kid. You can also chuck a few big spons of peanut butter in it for peanut butter fudge.

Gonna have to make some this week end.

Ooooooh! That's how we make fudge in The States (only with granulated sugar, not icing)!!! I'm gonna give this a go. Sounds dee-lish and has put me in the mood for chocolate now.
