dreamingkat answered Monday January 24 2005, 10:40 pm: Really quick and easy fudge:
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag (18 oz) chocolate chips
1 tsp vanalla
Tools:
non-stick spray
saucepan
range-top
refrigerator
wooden spoon
8 x 8 x 2 glass pan
saran wrap
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Slowly add chocolate chips, stirring them in as they melt. (it starts out looking like chocolate milk and then gets to a pudding like consistency). Keep the temperature on low or medium, you don't want it to boil.
Once all the chocolate chips are melted, turn off the heat and spray the glass pan (don't forget the sides) with non-stick spray. Pour the fudge into it. Leave it on the counter until you can pick up the pan w/o mits, then cover with saran wrap and move it to the fridge. It usually cools on the counter about 1/2 an hour (about how long it takes to lick the spoon, burn your fingers twice testing to see if the stuff left in the pan is cool enough to eat, and wash the pot - after licking it clean of course). It will need to be in the fridge another two hours before becoming hard. Cut it with a butter knife dipped in hot water.
Put Crisco, milk, sugar, salt, and chocolate into saucepan, and stir and boil until it forms a soft ball when tested in cold water, or 240 degree F. Remove from fire, add extract, allow to stand a minute, and beat until creamy. Pour into Criscoed tin and mark off into squares. [ Jordanalexa's advice column | Ask Jordanalexa A Question ]

Ingredients
2 c Sugar
1 Can (5-oz) evaporated milk
1/3 c Milk
1/8 ts Salt
1/4 c Butter
1 ts Vanilla extract
Line an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil; set aside. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, evaporated milk, milk, and salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to boiling. Carefully clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low-heat to 238F, soft-ball stage (this should take 25 to 35 minutes). Immediately remove saucepan from heat.
Add butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Cool mixture, without stirring, to 110F, lukewarm (about 55 minutes). Remove candy thermometer from saucepan. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon till fudge becomes very thick and just starts to lose its gloss (about 10 minutes total). Do not overbeat. Immediately spread fudge into the prepared pan.
Score fudge into 1-inch squares while warm. Top each square with a piece of nut, if desired. When candy is firm, use the foil to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into squares. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. Makes about 1 lb (32 servings).
