Location: Georgia | What's the best and if you have one that you think is AWESOME, would you please send it to me!!! I love homemade chocolate fudge, with or without pecans. I prefer fudge with pecans, but I also love just plain chocolate. I'm the dessert maker for the holidays this year and I'm looking for some awesome recipes.
The list so far, let me know what you think...
BUTTERMILK PIES
RED VELVET MARBLED POUND CAKE

I would imagine that you could add nuts to that recipe? |

| There is a recipe on the back of toll house chocolate chips for fudge. I use that and substitute almond extract for the vanilla. It's really good.
Copied from their website:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup (5 fl.-oz. can) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups (9 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
COMBINE sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
STIR in marshmallows, morsels, nuts and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for 1 minute or until marshmallows are melted. Pour into prepared baking pan; refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Lift from pan; remove foil. Cut into 48 pieces.

I grew up eating the fudge recipe from the Jet Puff jar. It was always SOOO good. I will try the Ghirardelli chips. My husband loves Ghirardelli Special Dark. I'm more of a milk chocolate fan but I will definitely give this a try. Thank you!!! |

| Ok I am probably the only person who isn't crazy about the marshmellow type fudge. I like the really dark homemade kind that has a grainy texture. It is very old school. Does anyone have that recipe?

Location: Gainesville, TX | White Chocolate Orange Raisin Bark
Get a package of white almond bark. Melt according to package directions. Mix in about a 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract, 1/2 cup of pecan bits (crushed), and 1/2 cup of golden raisins. Put some foil in a baking dish (like a 9 x 13), spread out the mixture, and refrigerate. Prep takes about 7-10 min. It hardens in the fridge in about 4 hours. Pull out, break apart, and enjoy. Its delicious and very different. It definitely has a 'holiday feel' too.
