~ Fudge Brownie ~








Ingredients :

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (bakers chocolate squares)
1/2 pound butter or margarine
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
4 eggs
2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts


Directions :

* Preheat the oven to 350ºF (325ºF if using a glass baking dish).
* Melt the chocolate
and butter or margarine in a heavy saucepan over low heat.
* Stir in the remaining ingredients in order, one at a time (the eggs also go in one at a time).
* Pour the mixture into a 9"x13" pan that has been lined with foil and greased.
* Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not over bake - the center should still have slightly moist crumbs when tested with a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies.
* Cool thoroughly before cutting.

Side Note :
It is even better if you refrigerate it overnight before cutting

~ Nuts Chocolate Fudge ~






How to Make Fudge :

1) Ingredients :



# 2 cups sugar
# 1 cup water
# 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
# 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped or grated
# 1 cup chopped toasted nuts
# 9x9 pan covered with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
# large saucepan


2) Combine the Sugar and Water .
In a large saucepan combine the sugar and the water over medium-high heat. Stir while the mixture heats to dissolve the sugar.




3) Bring the Sugar Syrup to a Boil.
Continue to cook the sugar and water and bring it to a full boil. Allow the mixture to boil for one minute.




4) Add the Condensed Milk.
Once the mixture has been boiling for one minute, add the condensed milk and stir until it is fully incorporated.



5) Cook the Fudge to 235 Degrees .
After the condensed milk is added and incorporated, insert a candy thermometer and cook the mixture to 235 degrees, stirring frequently so that the candy on the bottom of the pan does not scorch. Using a wet pastry brush, wash down the sides of the pan occasionally to prevent sugar crystals from forming and making your fudge unpleasantly grainy.




6) Add the Chocolate .
Once the candy reaches 235 degrees, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool for 15 minutes. Do not stir it during this time, or you will form sugar crystals and the fudge will be grainy!

After 15 minutes, add the grated chocolate and stir to melt the chocolate.




7) Beat the Fudge .
Using a wooden spoon, beat the fudge vigorously until it thickens and begins to lose its gloss. This may take anywhere from 5-15 minutes. While beating by hand is the traditional method, you can use an electric mixer if you have one. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and turn it on medium. Beat it just until it starts to thicken and lose its gloss. It is easy to overbeat fudge with a mixer, so watch it carefully and check it after every minute.

Once the fudge is the proper texture, add the nuts and stir quickly just until they are evenly distributed.




8) Pour It Into the Prepared Pan .
Once the fudge has thickened and the nuts are added, pour the fudge into the prepared pan. Allow it to set at room temperature until firm, about 3 hours or overnight.




9) Cut the Fudge .
After the fudge is set, use a large chef's knife to cut it into small 1-inch squares to serve.




10) Your Fudge is Finished .
Once the fudge is cut, it is ready to eat! Store remaining fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For the best taste and texture, bring the fudge to room temperature before serving.
