Tasty Delights--5 Minute Fudge


Tasty Delights and Dazzling Disasters is all about playing in the kitchen and having some fun.

I'll share my delights or my disasters. Yall feel free to join in and create your own posts, share your favorite recipes, what have you. 


So. Much. Deliciousness! 


Yeah. Alright, so not the healthiest ingredients but so worth it!


Cut up your marshmallows, add in sugar, salt, butter and evaporated milk.

Heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly for five minutes.
The marshmallows are going to fluff up big time but then will reduce as they dissolve.


Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir well.

Fold in chopped walnuts and vanilla!


Pour and smooth into an aluminum lined pan.
Cool completely then cut into pieces.


Mmmm. Yeah. It's really, really good.

This was my first try at fudge and it was so darn yummy.
I'll definitely be trying it again! Probably with a smaller pan so the fudge is a bit thicker but still damn good as it was :)

    1. Oh goodness. To chocolate or nuts?!! I'd be lost without either ;) LOL The nuts can easily be left out and other items added in or just left plain.

      I do that with my family. I don't eat meat but I do cook it for them on holidays and such to give it a try :)

    3. Oh wow. Yeah that would be really tough with so many goodies these days having nuts of some type. But yeah totally doable as just plain fudge. It's really good that way too :)

    1. OOoo Marshmallow fluff. Love that stuff. I'll have to try that one time. I grabbed the mini marshmallows this time so I don't have to cut up the big ones. Love these quick little recipes :)

      Happy Baking!

    Yule Peppermint Fudge
    ---------------------------

    Prep Time: 5 minutes

    Cook Time: 5 minutes

    Total Time: 10 minutes

    Ingredients:

    16 oz. semi-sweet Baker's chocolate
    1 14-oz can sweetened, condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
    2 Tbs. butter (use butter, not margarine)
    2 - 3 drops Peppermint extract
    Preparation:

    Place the chocolate and the butter in a microwave-save bowl. Warm up in the microwave until the chocolate begins to soften -- don't microwave it too long, or your chocolate will burn. Once the butter and chocolate are melted, stir them together until well blended. Add the condensed milk, and mix it well. Finally, add the drops of peppermint extract.

    Line an 8x8 pan with aluminum foil, and then lightly butter the foil. Spread your fudge mixture into the pan evenly. Refrigerate until cool -- usually about an hour. Once the fudge has hardened, remove it from the pan and the foil, and cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container until it's all gone -- although that usually doesn't take long!

    **Note -- if you're not a big peppermint fan, you can make plain fudge by eliminating the flavored extract, or try different flavors instead of the peppermint. Orange extract works nicely, as does rum and banana. You can also replace some of the chocolate with peanut butter chips, and make a peanut butter-chocolate fudge swirl, or add nuts or candy chips.

    1. I'm so glad you're doing okay now Penni! I can't imagine going through something like that!! You've got some incredible strength in you!

      Your recipe sounds really yummy too! I'll have to try that out sometime this season. I love peppermint but don't think I've ever tried it in fudge!

    2. Lke I've said before I am a baker! I love it lol I have a ton of recipes saved up through the years. Some I have lost over time sadly, but I'm always picking up new ones!

      I have recipes for home made kid stuff too lol like the gross slime stuff they love, playdough, crayons, etc. Makes for fun crafts during the summer when I am at my wits end on how to entertain them!
