My Christmas Favorite


Christmas time is definitely a time for making candy.  Christmas would just not be the same without all the homemade goodies you get this time of year.  Fudge is always on the top of my list.  It's easy and everyone loves it.  This is the basic recipe I use and then you can make variations to it to create your own favorites.  Here are just a few that I do:  Chocolate chips with Walnuts, White chocolate with dried cranberries and my favorite is just plain butterscotch chips.  


Fudge

1 ½ (3/4 Cup) Sticks Butter
3 Cups Sugar  
2/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
1 Sm Jar (7 oz) Marshmallow Crème
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Pkg (12oz) Chips (chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch)

Line 9-inch-square baking pan with foil. Lightly spray with cooking oil.  Combine sugar, butter and evaporated milk in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.  Stir in chips, marshmallow crème and vanilla extract. Pour into prepared pan.  Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Lift from pan; remove foil. Cut into pieces. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
