Mackinac Island Fudge Recipe
Imagine a special treat that makes people's eyes light up and their taste buds dance with joy.
Ingredients
- 2 + 1 teaspoons +cup Butter (divided)
- 4 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Milk (2%)
- 25 Large marshmallows
- 1 package Milk chocolate chips (11-1/2 ounces)
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Decorating icing and sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Grab that 13x9-inch pan and line it up with some trusty foil, making sure it covers every last bit. Give it a nice buttery massage with 2 teaspoons of the good stuff, spreading it out real even.
- In a big heavy saucepan, bring together the sugar, milk, and the remaining 1 cup of butter. Pop that saucepan on medium heat and stir like there's no tomorrow, preventing any sticky situations. Let that mixture reach a full-on boil while you keep that stirring action going strong.
- Once it's reached a raging boil, turn down the heat to a cozy medium-low and let it simmer away without any starry interruptions for a solid 2 minutes. After those 2 minutes, yank that saucepan off the heat.
- Add marshmallows into the mix and give it a good stir until they melt away into pure lusciousness. Add the chocolate and keep stirring until it surrenders to that molten goodness. And to crank up the flavour, mix in that vanilla extract until it's all cozy and well-blended.
- Pour that fudge mixture into the waiting pan, making sure it spreads out smoothly and evenly. And now, it's time to exercise some patience. Give it about an hour to cool down, set its shape, and become one solid piece of fudgy delight.
- Once that fudge has cooled down to perfection, grab a trusty knife and score it into neat little 1-inch squares. Once you've scored it up, cover the pan and slide it into the refrigerator for a solid 3 hours. That cool environment will work its magic, firming up that fudge and making it even more delightful.
- Grab that sharp knife and cut that fudge into individual pieces, creating bite-sized morsels of pure bliss.
- To keep that fudge as fresh as can be, store it between layers of waxed paper in airtight containers. That'll help maintain its incredible texture and prevent any sneaky drying out. And hey, feel free to give it a personal touch with some fancy decorations.
- Now, my friend, it's time to savour the fruits of your labour. Dive into that fudgy goodness, share it with your loved ones, and bask in the delight it brings. Enjoy every mouthwatering bite!
