Fudge
I
don't know anybody that doesn't like fudge. Fudge has been a favorite of mine
since I was a small child, and a terrific Christmas treat every year. Hope you
enjoy these recipes for fudge I have gathered.
Recently I ran across a newspaper article from 1985 stuck in a cookbook, with a recipe for Princess Diana's Royal Fudge!
Here is the recipe for Princess Diana's Fudge.

Everyday Fudge
2
squares of chocolate
3/4 cup milk
2 cups sugar

Cut chocolate in small pieces, put in saucepan with milk and sugar over low heat, and stir until chocolate melts. Continue cooking until a teaspoon of syrup will form a soft ball when dropped in cold water.
Remove from heat, add butter without stirring and set in a pan of cold water. When lukewarm, take the pan from the cold water, add vanilla and beat until it thickens. Turn into a buttered pan before it sets and let cool.
One fourth cup of chopped
nuts or raisins may be added while beating. Or a cup of marshmallows cut in pieces
may be beaten in.
