Red Pepper Fudge Recipe

How to make it

---

• Ok this is the way we did it, in a small pot I start the pecans.
• 1C chopped pecans
• ½ stick sated butter
• Cook these until they start getting a slight roasted taste then add
• 1/2t ground red pepper (new mexico red/pizza pepper)
• 1T heaping Florida Crystals all natural sugar
• Cook this until the sugar starts to caramelize.
• Add this to the fudge when it (fudge) gets to around 200 deg and cook according to fudge recipe.. I had to redo mine because we did’nt take it to 240 deg. First time, the thermometer was touching the bottom of the pot....... Ha
• This is the recipe used.
• 2C natural sugar
• 1C Hersheys cocoa
• 2C 2% promise land milk
• 2t real vanilla
• 4T melted sweet butter
• Combine these ingredients in a 3-4qt pot and cook for a bit and when around 200 add the pecan mix. Continue until the thermometer goes to the “soft ball” stage then cool it stirring like a mad man until thickening begins. Pour on/in a greased pan let it rest ( I let mine set til next day)
• Watch it it wants to stick while going for 230-240...
