Mamie Eisenhower Chocolate Fudge
Rich, creamy, and irresistibly sweet, Mamie Eisenhower's Chocolate Fudge is a classic treat perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- 9x13 pan
Ingredients
- 4 ½ c. sugar
- 12 oz. canned evaporated milk
- 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 oz. German-sweet chocolate broken into small pieces
- 2 c. marshmallow cream
- 2 c. coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 tbsp. butter
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish pan, or mist it in with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir together the semisweet chocolate, nuts, German chocolate, and marshmallow cream in a large bowl.
- Bring the sugar, salt, butter, and evaporated milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 5-6 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Pour the hot syrup over the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Let stand undisturbed at room temperature until firm, preferably overnight.
- Cut the fudge into small squares. Some prefer the texture of this fudge chilled after it’s cut. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Ensure your 9x13-inch baking dish is well-buttered or coated with nonstick spray. This will make removing the fudge much easier once it's set.
- Once poured into the prepared pan, use a spatula to smooth the top of the fudge for a neat finish.
- Allow the fudge to set undisturbed at room temperature, preferably overnight. This ensures it firms up properly and develops the best texture.
- Some prefer the texture of this fudge chilled after it’s cut. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
