Fudge

It is true that we are both on Weight Watchers and have each lost a boatload of weight. One of the attractive tenets of the weight watchers plan is the ability to eat pretty much anything... in appropriate quantities. 

That said, our favorite fudge is made locally by the same fine people who make Goat Boy Soaps, but due to the gestational cycle of the goats, availability of this amazing treat is limited.

And so, I set about to create my own. 

Ingredients
  • 2 bags chocolate chips - I used Giardelli semi-sweet
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 2/3 bag mini marshmallows
  • 2 boxes confectioner's sugar


Directions
  • Butter the sides and bottom of a cake pan. I used a 9 X 12 pan for this recipe
  • In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips
  • Add condensed milk, and continue to stir
  • Add marshmallows, a small amount at a time, continuing to stir until marshmallows have melted
  • Add confectioner's sugar, a small amount at a time, continuing to stir
  • If needed, add milk in small amounts to keep the mixture smooth and help sugar mix in
  • Continue to stir over double boiler until all ingredients are melted and combined
  • When mixture is smooth, and all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, pour into greased cake pan
  • Pan will be hot - handle with care!
  • Set pan in cool place for fudge to harden
  • When firm, slice and enjoy.
