Fantasy Fudge
Fantasy Fudge
(Original recipe was from Navin. This uses dark chocolate and thus had to change other parts also.)
3/4 C Butter 1 1/2 sticks
2 C Sugar (400g carb.)
2/3 C Evaporated Milk (18g)
[Or reduce the sugar by (2/3 * 1.25) and use condensed milk
in which case it's 83g carb for the milk and 83 g less on the sugar]
1 Package Dark Chocolate Chips (133g carb for Ghirardelli 60%)
1/4 (86 g) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (3 oz of a 12 oz package) (57.5)
1 Jar Marshmallow Cream (165)
1-1 1/2 C Nuts (optional) (8)
1 tsp Vanilla
(Total carbs of roughly 781.5)
(I cut them into 16x8 cubes for 128 pieces, which means roughly 6.1g of carbs each)
Mix butter, sugar and milk in sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Boil to 234 degrees. Remove from heat.
Add chips and stir as little as possible, till melted. Add cream, nuts and vanilla.
If it breaks, follow the instructions here:

Fudge can be pretty tricky and humidity can make a difference when you are cooking sugar.
If your fudge turned to sugar, or if it stiffened in the saucepan, or if it crumbled when you cut portions because beat it too long, you can add two more tablespoons of cream and stir over very low heat, cutting up the fudge with a wooden spoon as you stir. Cook and stir only until warm and slightly softened but not hot or thin. Remove from the heat again, beat again until it is smooth and thick, and then turn it out of the sauce pan again.
I hope this helps, Pie Susan
(You can add more cream, if needed, a little at a time.)
Pour into a foil lined 9 X 14 glass dish.
Let cool. Cut and enjoy.
