Fake Fudge

Catherine | October 27, 2009

I remember the last time I tried to make real fudge. It was a long, long time ago. It involved a candy thermometer, a jar of marshmallow fluff and a nasty burn on my right forearm. I can’t remember if it was good; I just remember that it hurt. Coming back from an experience like that ain’t easy, but when my mom was good enough to share this “fudge” recipe with me, I knew I had to put the past behind me and give it a go. You don’t need a candy thermometer, you don’t need fluff and (knock wood) I haven’t burnt myself making this yet.

Fake Fudge

Ingredients

  • 2 king size Snickers bars
  • 1 tub (container? jar?) of chocolate frosting
  • 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate

Preparation

  1. melt everything together over a low flame (some purists might insist on using a double-boiler, I say “why bother?”)
  2. pour into a 8 x 8 pan and allow to harden

Sure, it isn’t exactly fudge, but it’s so good and so freakin’ easy! Thanks to Jo Baird via my mom for this gem.
