FANNY FARMER FUDGE

I started using this fudge twenty some years ago. We had a cookie/candy exchange at our church and Deb B. brought this fudge. It is so smooth and creamy and very simple to make.

The ingredients are things I usually have on hand. Evaporated milk, sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla, butter and nuts.

So many have asked where Hannah has been. She is back and cooking up a storm. Pour the can of milk into a large saucepan.

Add 4 1/2 cups of sugar

IMG_2008

Mix together and bring to a boil over medium heat.

While that is cooking, chop up a cup of nuts. I have fallen for macadamia nuts. They are sooooooooo good. You could also use walnuts or pecans.

Next you need to prepare your pan. Grease the pan first.

Press a piece of parchment paper onto the greased pan.

Then smear butter over the parchment paper. After this picture, I was really trying to remember whether Hannah had washed her hands or not. Oh well, too late now.

By now your milk/sugar should have boiled for 10 minutes. Watch this closely and keep the heat as low as possible or it will boil over and it really makes a mess if that happens.

Remove the pan from heat and add a stick of butter.

IMG_2021

And 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips

IMG_2022

And a teaspoon of vanilla.

Now start stirring and stirring

Keep stirring, it still isn’t ready.

IMG_2044

When it leaves ripples while you are stirring, you know it is ready.

IMG_2046

Dump in the nuts and stir.

IMG_2047

Now pour onto the pan and spread to the edges.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!! Pop it into the refrigerator until cooled and firm.

Hannah was giving Chloe a taste of the fudge and of course Chloe bit her finger.

IMG_2052

Remove from pan and place on a cutting board.

IMG_2056

Someone was sampling!!!!!!!!!!

IMG_2061

Cut into little one inch squares.

I like to layer them between waxed paper and freeze.

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. I John 1:5-7

I'm not a fudge fan but I just watched the movie Julie & Julia and thought of you. You have to see it I could watch it again if I hadn't rented it. It's a chick movie so Jim will have to do woods stuff for a couple hours.

Happy Holidays, enjoy the full house
