Chocolate Euphoria Fudge
This was my first variation of E.L.F. Fudge and it's Absolutely Fabulous! This is an intense fudge rush. I recommend dialing "9-1-..." holding your finger over the last "1" while eating this fudge. Get a Medic Alert bracelet stating you consume Euphoria Fudge. Eat with a designated driver standing by, the motor running, and a strait jacket. You'll need it. Zowheeee!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk (or small 5 ounce can)
- 10-12 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 2-3 ounces Neufchâtel cheese or cream cheese
- 5 ounces Marshmallow Creme (more than half but not all the jar)
- 1 cup pecans or almonds (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butter flavor (imitation)
Instructions
- Line a 9 inch square pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature.
- Heat milk at medium setting until warm then add sugar. Bring to a rolling boil (medium-high) while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Add the Marshmallow Creme and butter. Bring back to a rolling boil for 5 minutes by the clock (start timing once the rolling boil resumes).
- Add the cream cheese to the boiling mixture about 1 minute before the end of the boil. Cut into small sections to allow easy melting.
- If you get brown flakes in the mixture, then turn down the heat a little.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla chips and nuts. Stir until creamy and all chips are melted.
- Now stir in vanilla extract and butter flavor. Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan.
- Cool.
- Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into squares.
- Stand back.
Notes
Neufchatel Cheese (sold by Philadelphia Brand as "1/3 Less Fat") contains less fat than cream cheese but doesn't lack any of the flavor. It can be substituted 1-for-1 cream cheese.
