I have this little booklet full of recipes you can make using Carnation Evaporated Milk and what do you think my kids chose? Yep, fudge. Of course they would because even though the pear pie and quiche looked fabulous, their sweet tooth tells their brain to pick the fudge. So fudge it is.
Now I have, on several occasions, heard about this recipe before. I’ve heard how it’s creamy sweetness is like no other but is it true? Well, according to my bunch and apparently the folks who reviewed it at the Very Best Baking site, say it’s the best ever! And talk about easy to make–recipes just don’t get any easier than this.
My pieces are thinner because I only had a bigger pan but that didn’t hinder the taste a bit;)
INGREDIENTS
- * 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- * 2/3 cup (5 fl.-oz. can) Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk
- * 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- * 1/4 teaspoon salt
- * 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- * 1 1/2 cups (9 oz.) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- * 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
LINE 8-inch-square baking pan with foil. I used an 8×11 because that’s all I had.
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.
In keeping with transparency, as always, I did receive a gift card from One2One Network and Carnation for ingredients to create this delicious fudge but in no way was my opinion of evaporated milk bought– fudge, or anything else for that matter. It’s always been a staple and if you want to search my recipes for it, you’ll know that’s the truth;) {{giggle}}
