Hi,
I've got one recipe which uses white chocolate which I loath. Anyone got one without white chocolate, almond bark, or vanilla bark (all much the same). I found this but the mixing in cold water seems like excessive work: Peppermint Fudge 1 1/2 cups crushed peppermint candies 1 cup marshmallow creme 4 cups sugar 1 cup evaporated milk 1/3 cup light corn syrup 6 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons honey 1/2 teaspoon salt In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup crushed peppermint candies and marshmallow. Cook over medium heat until smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Butter the sides of a large heavy saucepan or dutch oven. Add sugar, milk, corn syrup, butter, honey, and salt. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Using a pastry brush dipped in hot water, wash down any sugar crystals on sides of pan. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Using a candy thermometer, cook syrup until it reaches soft ball stage: 234°F to 240°F. To test, drop a small amount of fudge in ice water. Syrup should easily form a ball in the water, but flatten out when held in your hand. Stir in marshmallow mixture. Fill your kitchen sink with 2 inches of cold water. Place saucepan in the sink and cool to approximately 120°F. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat fudge until thickened and no longer glossy. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies. Pour into a buttered 8 x 11 inch baking pan. Cool completely and cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. |

Just get a little bottle of mint oil for the fudge flavoring. It only needs a few drops. I make potato candy with mint oil on holidays. Yummy. Minteeleaf. |
