As the advertisement states, “make never-fail fudge in 15 minutes!”. Quick and no fail? It would be hard for me to turn down this recipe.

The texture and taste intrigue me. I don’t think I’ve ever had fudge made with cream cheese and wonder how it would be different. I assume it might make for a less sweet fudge (as some fudge can be too sickly sweet) and am eager to try this recipe closer to the holidays.

Philly Chocolate Fudge
1 3-ounce pkg. cream cheese
2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar
2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
dash of salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Place cheese in a bowl and cream it until soft and smooth. Slowly blend the sugar into it. Add the meltjavascript:void(0)ed chocolate. Mix well. Add the vanilla, salt and chopped peacnd mix until well blended. Press into a well greased, shallow pan. Place into the refrigerator until firm and cut into squares.

For a slightly softer fudge, blend in 1 teaspoon cream.

I’ve checked the recipe as written and expected there to be more peanut butter and marshmallow cream. However, maybe it’s more lightly flavored and not [...]

Caramel Candy Recipe

I love homemade caramels. My mother would make them around the holidays as a special treat. The key to a good caramel is cooking it just to the right temperature without going too far *and* remembering to keep stirring! It will burn quickly if not watched. For those who have patience, homemade caramels are your [...]
