15 Minute Fudge, 3 Kinds(Cook's Illustrated)
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped fine
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine
- 12 teaspoon baking soda
- 18 teaspoon table salt
- 1 14 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup miniature marshmallow
- 1 cup salted peanuts, chopped
- 12 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Cut 12-inch length extra-wide heavy-duty aluminum foil; fold edges back to form 7 1/2-inch width.
- With folded sides facing down, fit foil securely into bottom and up sides of 8-inch-square baking pan, allowing excess to overhang pan sides.
- Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- Toss chocolates, baking soda, and salt in medium heatproof bowl until baking soda is evenly distributed.
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
- Set bowl over 4-quart saucepan containing 2 cups simmering water.
- Stir with rubber spatula until chocolate is almost fully melted and few small pieces remain, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Do not melt the chocolate completely or the fudge may become greasy.
- Remove bowl from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in marshmallows, peanuts, and chocolate chips.
- Transfer fudge to prepared pan and spread in even layer with spatula.
- Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- Remove fudge from pan using foil and cut into squares.
- Let come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
- Walnut: Stir in 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts instead of peanuts and marshmallows in step 3.
- Peanut Butter: Substitute 18 ounces peanut butter chips for chocolates in step 2 and omit walnuts.
- Can add 1 cup chopped salted toasted peanuts for crunch.
- The fudge is best to be eaten within a few days, because it will dry out as it sits.
- It can be stored tightly wrapped in the freezer, however, for up to three months.
- TO MAKE DOUBLE BATCH:.
- Line 13 by 9-inch pan with two sheets of foil placed perpendicular to each other and double amounts of all ingredients.
- In step 2, use large heatproof bowl and Dutch oven containing 4 cups simmering water.
