Halloween Food & Recipes

I have tried many a fudge recipe over my years of cooking, but I’ve never found one that matches the traditional ‘Million Dollar Fudge’ recipe that has become a tradition in my family. I have made two new variations on it for this two-part recipe; the first, What is it?, is a penuche (brown sugar) based variation. Everyone in my family seems to love this variation, so here it is:

What is it?
Checkerboard Fudge Part 1
based on an old Taylor family recipe, Millon Dollar Fudge, and altered by M. Ryan Taylor
makes one 8x8 or 9x9 pan of penuche fudge

Ingredients

• 20 large Marshmallows
• 2 T Butter
• 2 C White Chocolate Chips
• 1 C chopped Pecans
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 2/3 C Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 C Evaporated Milk
• Dash of Salt

Directions

1. Place Marshmallows, Butter, White Chocolate Chips, Pecans and Vanilla in a large bowl.
2. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, bring Brown Sugar, Milk and Salt to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil at least 7 minutes, maybe 8.
3. Pour over ingredients in bowl and stir until Marshmallows are melted.
4. Pour into a buttered baking dish and cool.
5. After you make part one here, you’ll need to make part 2 to get this look. Cut into uniform 1-inch squares and place on a serving dish in a checkerboard pattern with “Rocky Road.”

Suggestions

• Fudge is a great thing to experiment with. Try this recipe with white sugar and add the zest of two oranges for an orange variation. Cut boiling time down to 5-6 minutes. Let me know how it turns out (it should work!).
• Play fun Halloween music while you eat.
