Grammys Fudge Recipes

MY GRANDMA'S PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

Steps:

• Mix together the peanut butter and marshmallow cream in a bowl; set aside. Lightly grease a square glass dish with butter.
• Stir together the sugar and milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat; stirring occasionally, bring to a boil at 234 degrees F (110 degrees C) and then immediately remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter mixture and the vanilla; pour into the prepared dish and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

GRANDMA STRAIT'S FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan combine sugar, condensed milk, butter and chocolate chips. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Remove chocolate mixture from heat and add marshmallow and nuts. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan, and let set.

GRAMMY'S CHOCOLATE DROP COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture; beat to combine. Form dough into a flattened disk, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll each ball in sanding sugar. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies from baking sheet to wire rack. The cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
