I know it’s been awhile, but here I am again! I’ll catch you up on a few things I’ve made over the holidays. First of all, my mom and I made my favorite holiday treat: FUDGE! My mom makes the best fudge you’ll ever want to put in your mouth – and she doesn’t put any nuts in it. I guess if you like nuts – if you’re a nutty kind of person – you can add some in. I just don’t like ‘em in much of anything, and neither does my mom. So, anyway, we were going to my Nana’s house on Christmas Eve, and we like to take some treats, and we needed some at home, too, so we decided to make my FAVORITE FUDGE! Here it is:
Michael’s Favorite Fudge (adapted from the back of the Kraft Marshmallow Cream jar!)
3 cup sugar
¾ cup butter
a1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate pieces (I use milk chocolate)
1 (7 oz.) jar Kraft marshmallow crème
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine sugar, butter and milk in heavy 2 ½ quart saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 5 minutes over medium heat or until candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate pieces until melted. Add marshmallow crème, nuts and vanilla. Beat until well blended; pour into a greased 9×13” pan. Cool at room temperature; cut into squares. *I use peanut butter chips for peanut butter fudge.

That fudge looks so good! I love fudge and I didn’t get around to making any at Christmas time. Maybe I’ll try your recipe and make it for Valentines day.
