4. waiting ...

[GOPisEvil]

6. That is true.

But I got to scrape the bowl and spatula to help tide me over.

3. Only an engineer would have a recipe with a heat sink in it.

Did you add any special ingredients to your recipe?

[GOPisEvil]

5. Nope.

Just the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter. I forgot to buy nuts at the store, or I'd have added them.

[WillParkinson]

11. I'm saddened....

By the fact that you don't have any nuts.

19. You're right...I'm a nutless wonder.

:P

9. Dude!

Fudge has always been easy:

3 cups sugar

3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine

1 small can (5 oz.) evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup)

1-1/2 pkg. (12 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, chopped or 1 pkg semi-sweet chips

1 jar (7 oz.) JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme

1 cup chopped PLANTERS Walnuts

1 tsp. vanilla

LINE 9-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan; set aside. Place sugar, butter and evaporated milk in large heavy saucepan. Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 4 min. or until candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.

ADD chocolate and marshmallow creme; stir until completely melted. Add walnuts and vanilla; mix well.

POUR immediately into prepared pan; spread to evenly cover bottom of pan. Cool at room temperature at least 4 hours; cut into 8 (1-inch) squares. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.



Really, I do get a kick out of the Cooking For Engineers site. Hope it turns out yummy for you! :hi:

12. Running out to the store now for some condensed milk.

Can't wait to try it. I never could make fudge that wasn't runny.

15. Homer Simpson voice: "Mmmm ... Sweetened condensed miiiiiilk"

YUM. I could drink that stuff straight from the can ... and have ... I'll admit it ... :9

13. I love that site.

I've made that fudge, too -- once I made it with semi-sweet chocolate chips (some local brand), and added some mini-marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.

I've also done it with Nestle's half peanut butter, half milk chocolate morsels.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Ooooh...s'mores fudge!

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

16. Since you've joined the ranks of college students everywhere,

you might want to consider special batches of homemade fudge as a quick and inexpensive way to fulfill some of your holiday gift giving.
