One of the signs that I have been feeling better during this 2nd trimester is the fact that i have baked two days in a row! (I have even done my own dishes!!!) :)
I got this super easy (easy for fudge anyways) recipe out of the Pillsbury Holiday Baking book from a few years ago.
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 2 hours
You will need (I highly suggest having EVERYTHING out and cut before beginning the process):
4.5 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
12 oz evaporated milk
4.5 c (or one bag) of mini marshmallows
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
12oz sweet baking chocolate, cut into pieces
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, cut into pieces
2 t. vanilla
1/4 t. almond extract
Optional:
1 c. chopped walnuts, pecans
colored sugar for topping
Line 15x10x1 inch pan with foil, grease. In a 5-6 quart saucepan, cook sugar, butter and milk over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir constantly till sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling. Boil uncovered without stirring for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add mallows; stir till melted. Add chocolate chips, sweet and unsweet chocolate, stirring constantly till all is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in extract, vanilla, and nuts. Quickly spread mixture in pan. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired. Cool completely (about 1.5 hours).
Remove fudge from pan by lifting foil; remove foil from sides of fudge. Cut into squares and enjoy!
