Fudge It Recipe

How to make it

---

• In a deep sauce pan, low heat, melt
• chocolate morsels (i,e, chocolate chips, Nestle's works best for whatever reason)
• stir constantly until the chocolate appears to be retempered (i.e., develops a nice glossy sheen)
• add 1 small can of sweetened condensed milk ( Borden is excellent for this, Carnation is slightly over par)
• stir to homogeneity (just fold it in gently and stir it around)
• add 1 to2 teaspoons of real vanillla extract (imitation is not allowed here)
• fold and stir to homogeneity
• add a splash of Chambord to taste (or none if one is tasteless)
• fold and stir to homogeneity
• add your nuts, crazy if you like (minced hazelnuts are best in this, but pecans, walnuts or almonds work well too)
• serve hot over vanilla ice cream with sliced peaches or whole Strawberries, or raspberries (or whatever fruit ya choose)
• OR
• line an 8 inch glass casserole with wax paper, pour it in, top it with a favorite fruit or marshmallow or cream cheese, or no topping at all, and let chill in the refrigerator, then slice into 3/4 inch squares and give the junkies a treat
• NOTE: if you have a vanilla bean to spare, split it lengthwise and let it soak in the condensed milk during preparation, then just toss it in the mix.
• NOTE: a sprig of mint is a wicked garnish with this.
• NOTE: good quality hazelnut liquor is great substitute for chambord (if there is sucha thing)
