It's about time we reveal another recipe in our hobbity yule calendar! Miss Myrtellia sent us one. She tells us how yer can make peppermint fudge! Here's what she says about this sweet stuff:
Making this fudge has been one of the Underburrow family's long-standing Yule traditions. I can't remember a single Yule that's passed without making it. One year my parents nearly decided to skip making it, but this was met with outrage by my siblings and me, which would have escalated into a kitchen revolt if my parents hadn't made the swift decision to reconsider! It's certainly my favorite holiday recipe! Rich, creamy, and chocolatey, exactly as fudge should be, with the peppermint flavor bringing that delicious taste of yuletide magic. If you enjoy peppermint flavor, but worry about the sweets being too crunchy, worry not! The candies soften up nicely once they've been added to the top of the fudge. I find the effect delightful!
Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
3 cups (675g) of sugar
3/4 cup (170g) of butter
1 five-ounce can (147g) of evaporated milk
1 1/2 packages (1 package is 13 ounces/370g) of chocolate chips (I find that semisweet or dark chocolate chips work best, but feel free to experiment and use your favorite kind!)
1 1/2 cup (~302g) of marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon (5ml) of vanilla
1 teaspoon (5ml) of mint extract
Crushed peppermint candies (optional)
In a saucepan, bring sugar, butter, and evaporated milk to a boil. Boil
for three minutes. Stir in chocolate, marshmallow cream, mint extract,
and vanilla. Spread in a foil lined pan (8-9 inches). Top with
peppermint candies, allow to cool. Makes 3 pounds of fudge.
