Microwave Fudge Recipe
This recipe came out a long time ago…but, I haven’t seen it in print for a long time so I thought I would share it. I don’t remember who published it or where it came from.
Take a large bowl..not metal..add a box of powdered sugar (make sure it is fresh or it will be lumpy), a stick of butter or margarine, l/4 cup of milk, and l/2 cup of cocoa.
Put in microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Take out and stir. If it is lumpy put it back into the microwave for another minute. Take out again and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and beat. The fudge will get nice and shiny. Add pecans or walnuts, if desired. About 1/4 cup.
Pour into a square glass pan 8 x 8, or 9 x 9 that has been buttered. Refrigerate.
Variations of fudge:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge: Add 1/4 cup of peanut butter.
Peanut Butter Fudge: Delete the cocoa and use l/2 cup of peanut butter instead.
You can make a Rocky Road Fudge by adding almonds and coconut and tiny marsh mellows.
The fudge takes about 5 minutes to make and turns out perfect every time. Just make sure you get fresh powdered sugar. Yummy.
