Fudge Log

Fudge Log

I took a candy class at Sherry's Cake Shop about 23 years ago. She taught us how to make some of the most delicious candy's, but the best part is, they are so quick and easy to make.
This Fudge Log only takes a few minutes to prepare. It does have to set for a little while before cutting.
It has a very creamy texture, and its sweet but not too sweet.

                                                       

Ingredients:

1 lb. melting  (milk) chocolate wafers

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1-2 cups  chopped pecans

I use a bread pan and lay a piece of plastic wrap that’s 2 feet long across the short width of the pan and there is a lot of wrap hanging out on both sides. This pan was a little wider than some so I had to lay 2 pieces of wrap to cover the entire pan. It is VERY IMPORTANT to have the pan ready.

Melt the chocolate in a large bowl for 1 ½ minutes. The bowl will be pretty warm if you can stir the chocolate it will continue to welt. If its not melted enough continue to microwave 30 second increments, stirring after each.

Stir, if melted add milk and stir hard and fast, add pecans. Stir harder and faster. When the milk hits the chocolate it instantly starts to harden. Its important to work quickly. Dump in the pan and smooth the best you can. Take extra wrap that’s hanging out and cover the top of the fudge. Let set.  Can put in freezer or fridge to set faster. Slice in 1” sections. Then slice into small pieces. I keep this in the freezer until I need it. It will keep for months. Its great if you have unexpected guest.

I was in a hurry and bought the log cabin melting chocolate at Walmart. It is not as good a quality as the chocolate that you get at the cake shops or at Michael's.

I saw a lady on TV make this recipe with chocolate chips. She used 1 cup milk chocolate and 2 cups semi-sweet chips.

With living so far out I like to have back up plans when I need to switch products.

If anyone gets a chance to use the chips before I do, Let me know how it turned out.
