Birds in the Air

 

I make fudge maybe once a year, usually around Christmastime. I generally use the recipe with just three ingredients: a can of sweetened condensed milk, a 12-ounce bag of chocolate chips, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. It cooks a minute in the microwave and chills for an hour or so before cutting. If I decide to up my game, I’ll go with this:

 

“Famous” Fudge

 

2 cups miniature marshmallows

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Line 8” baking pan with parchment. Combine sugar, butter, milk, and salt in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Continue cooking and stirring 6 minutes; remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients and stir until marshmallows have melted. Spread in prepared pan and chill until firm enough to cut into cubes.
