FUDGE
Yields 9 – 12 pieces
Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. of white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla essence/extract
1 tsp. margarine/spread
Tools
1 large pot
1 wooden spoon
1 cookie sheet or long casserole dish
1 sharp knife
Process
—Grease the bottom of your cookie sheet or casserole dish.
—Pour can of condensed milk into pot along with sugar at medium high heat.
—Stir mixture constantly with wooden spoon until mixture takes on a caramel color. As the mixture cooks further, lower your heat. Do not leave pot or stop mixing, as doing so will quickly burn your ingredients!—
—After stirring your pot for approximately 15 minutes, test a drop of fudge mixture into cold water. If the mixture is solid, you may remove it from heat. If the mixture is still chewy/caramel-like, continue stirring.
—Once removed from heat, add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. margarine to your pot, and stir. This will help solidify the mixture.
—Quickly pour your mixture into greased cookie sheet, smoothing into corners while you pour. It is very helpful if you have another hand during this step, to ensure a smooth top layer.
—Let mixture cool 5 minutes, then score into squares of your desired size.
—After approximately 5 more minutes, fully cut your fudge into squares, and serve, or store for guests.
