Since I didn’t get to make any candy last Christmas, I decided that it didn’t have to be a holiday to make it. Why not make fudge any old time of the year? This recipe from Buns In My Oven that I found on Pinterest looked so yummy that I decided to try it.
I usually like the classic fudges the best such as chocolate pecan and peanut butter, but I have to say that this one is right up there with them. Of course, being chocolate-flavored helped a little! The only problem I had was that my chocolate chips wanted to melt a little in the warm mixture and Ms. Buns’ has perfect little chips in each piece. Thankfully, it didn’t hurt the taste, just the appearance a little.
For the cookie dough:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons half and half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
For the fudge:
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup butter
pinch of salt
1/3 cup half and half
4-5 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Line an 8×8” baking dish with foil leaving a little overhang and spray with non-stick spray.
For the cookie cough: beat the butter and white sugar until they are light and fluffy which takes about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, vanilla, salt and half & half and combine. Stir in the flour and set aside.
Now make the fudge base:
Combine the brown sugar, butter, salt, and half and half in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Warm and stir until the butter is melted and the brown sugar is dissolved.
Remove from the heat and slowly add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Stir in the vanilla and then stir in the cookie dough. Mix in the chips and spread it in the prepared baking pan.
Chill for at least 3 hours. It was a little humid when I made mine so it took more time to set up. Cut into small pieces and enjoy!
