How to Make Sensibly Delicious Fudge

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  2. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Be patient, it will take some time to reach that rolling boil.
  4. Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes. Make sure your stirring is consistent to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Stir in 10 ounces marshmallows, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips/butterscotch chips/peanut butter & milk chocolate chips as per variation below), 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (or 1/2 cup peanuts for peanut butter variation), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Stir vigorously for 1 minute, or until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
  10. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang.
  11. Remove the foil.
  12. Cut the fudge into 25 pieces.
  13. **Variations:**
  14. **Milk Chocolate Fudge:** Substitute 1 ¾ cups milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  15. **Butterscotch Fudge:** Substitute 1 ⅔ cups butterscotch flavored chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  16. **Peanutty Chocolate Fudge:** Substitute 1 ⅔ cups peanut butter & milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips and use ½ cup chopped peanuts instead of pecans or walnuts.
