Penny’s Grandma Anderson’s Fudge

 

Penny’s Grandma Anderson’s Fudge

This is the complete opposite of Super Fudge as it is not healthy in any sense of the word! I suggest making both to see which you prefer. My Grandma made this fudge every Christmas and put a tin of it in our annual parcel that also contained fruitcake and Christmas pudding.

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. butter

2/3 cup (1 small can) evaporated milk

1 2/3 cup sugar

½ tsp salt

2 cups mini marshmallows (or 1 bottle marshmallow crème)

1 ½ cups chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup chopped nuts or crushed mint candies

Directions:

Mix butter, milk, sugar and salt in saucepan.

Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients until marshmallows melt.

Pour in buttered 8” square pan.

Cool and cut into squares.

Bacon and Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Glaze

  • 3/4 cup butter 
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoon hazelnut OR almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • cup white chocolate chips
  • cup dark chocolate chips
  • lbs high quality bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 lb high quality bacon, cooked in whole strips 

MAPLE GLAZE: 


  • cups powdered sugar
  • tablespoon maple extract 
  • Splash of shagbark hickory syrup (OPTIONAL) 
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugars, extracts and eggs. In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir together.
  2. Dough will be slightly soft. If you want a more cake-like cookie, add another 1/2 cup of flour. Mix in chocolate chips and crumbled bacon. Stir until well integrated.
  3. Place dough in refrigerator and let rest 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  5. Remove dough from fridge. Roll 2 tablespoons worth of dough into ball. Set dough balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls slightly with your fingers. Bake about 10 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on cooling rack while you make the glaze.
  6. Maple-Cinnamon Glaze: Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon maple extract, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, shagbark syrup and ½ teaspoon cinnamon with enough water to make a thick glaze, about 3 tablespoons. Wisk all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread a small amount of glaze on top of each cooled cookie and top with a small piece (1 inch) of crisp bacon.
