Ingredients

2 cups Sugar

2 Egg Whites

1/2 cup White Corn Syrup

1/2 cup Water

1 tsp Vanilla
2/3 cup nuts (optional)

Directions

Mix sugar, syrup, and water then DO NOT stir it again. Bring to soft ball (235-245 degrees F). Pour 1/4 of it slowly over beaten egg whites (beaten to HARD peaks). Beat that back to peaks. Cook rest of mixture until almost brittle (also know as soft crack stage 300-310 degrees F). Pour slowly over whites, beating constantly. Continue to beat until creamy (this takes a while and the candy starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl when done). Add vanilla and nuts. Spoon onto wax paper.

Festive Fudge

I make this every year for Christmas. I love it because it is easy and tastes great. I will generally use milk chocolate chips but any flavor chips are fine. If you would like to do a chocolate peanut butter fudge just replace butter with the peanut butter. Don't add more than 2 T or it will not set properly.

Ingredients:

12 oz chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 T butter
1 T vanilla
1/4 cup nuts any flavor (optional)

Directions:

Place ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Place in microwave for 1 minute on high. Take out and stir. Then if needed place in microwave for 30 seconds. Spread mixture in a greased (I use pam spray) dish and cool. Enjoy.
