Good Saturday morning Nancy. I am responding to Susie in
Indy's request, in the
November 13th newsletter for the recipe
for the easy fudge made with frosting and chips. I think
most of us have enjoyed this combination fudge for ages. I
first remember seeing it in your newsletter in 2006, for
sure -maybe sooner. I also wanted to say to Susie: I am so
sorry to hear of your tendinitis –it truly sounds painful
and debilitating. I am happy that your husband is doing
well! For the fudge, here are some combinations that I made
and really enjoyed, as well as others that were posted a
while back. You can try just about any frosting and chips
combination with success (except the whipped frostings). Let
us know which kind(s) of fudge you make. Enjoy! AtlantaPat.
Creamy Frosting and Chips Fudge
1 (12-oz) bag Hershey’s chips OR 1 (10-oz) bag of Nestles
chips**
1 whole can of frosting (Don’t use the Whipped kind –it
doesn’t set as well)
Put the bag of chips in a glass bowl –don’t pile them all to
the middle, kind of spread them out. Microwave on high for
90 seconds. Take out and stir well.
Then dump one whole can of frosting on top of the melted
chips. Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Take out and stir
well, to blend.
Pour/spoon into a 8x8” or 9x9” square pan. Refrigerate until
chilled and set. Then cut into small pieces (Believe it or
not it is real rich).
* Hint 1: I put a capful of Vanilla Extract and a pinch of
salt in it after everything has melted. I thought that it
may give more of a home-made taste. I had a few nuts and
broke them up in it too. But you do not have to do that, as
the ladies who told me about it didn’t use Vanilla, salt or
nuts and said it was delicious.
Hint 2: I lined the pan with aluminum foil and put it up the
sides of the pan -and gave it a little squirt with Pam. If
you have the Reynolds Release Aluminum foil that would be
real good too. You don’t have to line it with foil –but it
just makes it easier to get out of the pan, since you just
lift it out. I did put a little bit in a plastic container
that I sprayed with Pam –and didn’t line it with oil and it
came out just fine. The first piece was a little tricky.
**It really doesn’t make much difference (Nestles just has 2
ounces less) BUT DON’T USE A CHEAPER BRAND.
Here are some combinations that you can make –experiment
with your own combinations:
Milk Chocolate Chips and Cream Cheese Frosting;
Milk Chocolate Chips and German Chocolate (coconut and
pecan) Frosting;
Peanut Butter Chips and Chocolate Frosting
Mint Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Frosting
Butterscotch Chips and Vanilla Frosting
Any Flavor Chips and Vanilla Frosting
