Fudge Platters


I know everyone is probably tired of seeing posts about fudge, but I would like to share another one. These are my fudge platters I sell. I get the plastic festive platters at the dollar store($1.00, of course) and the plastic bags also (2/$1.00).

I complete the platter with curling ribbon with my business card slipped through one of the ribbons. One the front side of the business card is the fudge flavors included then on the back is my info.


I sell these platters for $25.00. There are 60 pieces of fudge and they weigh approx. 4 /1/2 lbs.

I also sell a plate size of fudge. They contain 27 pieces of fudge and weigh approx. 2 1/4 lbs. I sell those for $15.00.

These plates and platters of fudge make really nice gifts for offices or other "groups" on your holiday lists. You have all of the recipes, now just get your platters and bags!

1/2 c. almonds, chopped or slivered
1 tsp. almond extract

1. Make base fudge recipe.

Chocolate Cherry Fudge

This is a great fudge to try if you like chocolate covered cherries. It is not personally one of my favorites but, a lot of people like it.

Chocolate Cherry Fudge

You'll need:

6 oz. cherry chips (found next to chocolate chips)
6 oz. chocolate chips

1. Make base fudge recipe and only use 6 oz of chocolate chips instead of 12 oz. Also, add the cherry chips to the fudge at the same time as the chocolate.

For a different variation, you can use 12 oz of chocolate chips and add maraschino cherries to the fudge.


*I don't make this very often so, I do not have a picture at this time.

"Base" Fudge Recipe

I think the key to fudge making is do it the old fashion way; on the stove! Also, make sure to stir your fudge with a wooden spoon!

This base recipe is the key to making any flavored fudge.

"Base" Fudge

3 c. sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter (I use Blue Bonnet)
2/3 c. evaporated milk*
7 oz. marshmallow fluff
12 oz. chocolate chips**

1. Before you start, open all packages and line a 9x13 pan with wax paper.
2. Stir together sugar, milk, and butter in a medium sauce pan.
3. Cook over medium high heat (I use 7). When mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent scorching and sticking.
4. After 5 minutes boiling time, turn heat off and add fluff. Stir, stir, and stir.
5. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted.
6. Pour into pan and let cool.

As a tip: I cut fudge as soon as it is completely set. I then will put it in the fridge to chill it. After it is cold, I lift it out of the pan by the wax paper and run the knife over the slices again. They should now peel right off the paper without sticking of falling apart.


Another tip: If your fudge gets hard from being exposed to the air, put it in a metal tin with a lid. It will soften back up and still taste great!

* A 12oz. can of evaporated milk will make 2 batches of fudge.
** Might be substituted in making different flavored fudge.
