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
- Place Marshmallows, Butter, White Chocolate Chips, Pecans and Vanilla in a large bowl.
- 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.
- Pour over ingredients in bowl and stir until Marshmallows are melted.
- Pour into a buttered baking dish and cool.
- 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.
