Let’s make fudge!
If you don’t like white chocolate, substitute milk or dark chocolate. Instead of pecans, substitute almonds or your favorite nut, candy or dried fruit.
Dairy alternatives: dairy free chocolate chips, vegan butter and coconut cream or evaporated soy or nut milk.
To evaporate soy or nut milk, just boil 3 cups over medium heat, stirring constantly, until reduced to 1 cup, then measure out 2/3 cup for this recipe.
While you measure out your other ingredients, toast your pecans or favorite nuts.
Preheat oven to 315 F and bake on a foil or parchment lined sheet pan until brown and fragrant, about 15 – 20 minutes.
Save time on future recipes by toasting an entire 1 pound bag now. Measure out 1 cup for this recipe, then cool and freeze the rest.
*Pull out frozen nuts before happy hour.
*Chop and add to pancakes, salads or a breadcrumb mixture for chicken or fish.
Use a large pot so you have r o o m to stir the ingredients easily. Stir together the sugar, butter, salt, marshmallow cream and milk until smooth.
Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir five minutes, then remove from heat and add in chocolate.
Once the chocolate is melted and completely smooth, stir in nuts or add ins and flavorings. THAT’S IT!
Pour and spread fudge evenly into a parchment or plastic wrap-lined half sheet baking pan.
Now for the fun part!
While fudge is warm, use the tip of a paring knife to draw just across the top of the fudge into four or six large squares.
One square or rectangle at a time, top with or sprinkle on your favorite toppings:
*pecan halves
*shredded coconut
*colored sugar
*sprinkles
*mini candies
*chopped dried fruit
*a drizzle of melted chocolate
Press decorations (lightly!) into fudge so it sticks. Let cool, wrap well and freeze or refrigerate until firm.
Cut into 48 small squares.
