Does anyone have the fudge recipe, I think it has chocolate chips and frosting in it. Also, please share any tips for it!!! I was thinking of doing a sampler open house and making cookies with the press, the cranberry bark and the fudge. Then everyone can take a little plate home with them. Thanks in advance for the recipe. Katie
 
Not sure this is the real recipe but when I made it I just melted chocolate chips (12 oz bag) in the Micro Cooker (careful not to get them too hot)and then added a can of prepared chocolate frosting. You can use any flavor of chips (milk chocolate, chocolate mint, peanut butter, etc.) and any flavor of frosting. I also added nuts. You can pour it into the square baker or one of the bar pans to cool. I did the same thing for a wedding shower with white chips and white frosting and colored small portions with the bride's colors and added flavoring, just so they wouldn't be just plain vanilla. I filled the Easy Accent Decorator and made little candies. Quite attractive! Hope that helps.
 
The recipe is one bag (12 ounces) of chocolate chips, any flavor, plus one can of ready-to-spread frosting. You simply melt them down, together, then add one cup chopped nuts. I use walnuts. Pour into the square baker, and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes.

I don't do this in a micro-cooker, especially at a show. I use cookware, as it's a higher priced item. The 10-inch or 12-inch skillets work great. Cook it on a medium power, stirring occasionally until completely melted, then add the nuts. Also, you may want to spray the stone with cooking spray, if it's a new one. Not sure it's really necessary, especially if it's well seasoned.

Best wishes!

I have never heard of that recipe before. I make mine the way my daddy taught me;)
 
I simply love chocolate peanut butter fudge - so is the way above how I would make that (with pb chips??)?? Thanks in advance!
 
There is another 2 ingredient fudge recipe, that I actually like better.....(I think it's creamier, and tastes more like Mackinaw Island fudge)

It's a 12 ounce bag of Chocolate Chips, and 1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk. Melt them together, and then pour it into a pan and let it harden.

I like to use chocolate chips, and stir in some Peanut Butter too - makes GREAT chocolate peanut butter fudge.
 
Becky that sounds delish! I can see how the cond. milk would make it creamier.

Will have to try it!

I make it every year to put on cookie/candy trays for gifts.........it is soooo good! I used to pour it into the 9x9 baker lined with parchment - but for the past few years, I have been pouring it into the med. bar pan lined w/ parchment.
