Million Dollar Fudge Ingredients 1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips 1 package (11 1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts 2 teaspoons vanilla 4 cups sugar 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated skimmed milk 2 tablespoons butter or margarine Nutritional Information : 1 piece: Calories 75 Saturated Fat 1g Total Fat 3g Protein 1g Carbohydrate 12g Fiber 0g Sodium 9mg Cholesterol 1mg Introduction: When Mammy Eisenhower came to the White House, she brought along a recipe for fudge that called for marshmallow crème. Her candy was so creamy the president reportedly called it the "million dollar" fudge. Makes about 3 1/2 pounds (117 pieces). Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Step 1: Line a 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over edges of pan. Lightly butter foil; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, walnuts, and vanilla. Step 2: In a heavy large saucepan, stir together the sugar, evaporated skimmed milk, and butter. Bring to boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar. (Avoid splashing mixture onto side of pan.) Lower the heat to moderately low. Stir and boil for 1 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Step 3: Carefully pour the boiling mixture over the chocolate mixture. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is creamy and well combined. Quickly turn the fudge into prepared pan. While fudge is warm, use the tip of a small knife to score into 1-inch squares. Step 4: When fudge is firm, lift it out of pan; cut into squares. To store, cover tightly and refrigerate. Cutting Fudge: By lining the pan with foil, you can remove the fudge quickly and easily. When the candy is firm, grasp the foil and lift the block of fudge out of the pan. Remove the foil and place the candy on a cutting board. Using a long-bladed, serrated knife, such as a bread knife, cut along the lines scored in the fudge. To get a smooth even cut, place one hand on the knife handle and the other on the top of the blade, then press down evenly until the knife cuts through the candy.	Gingerbread Houses Make colorful Ginger bread houses! Ingredients: -1 package Graham crackers -1 can of crab meat -3 large eggs -1 lb. pwdered sugar -lots of leftover Halloween candy Instructions: Royal Frosting (NOT recommended for eating) 1) Place 3 large egg whites into a mixing bowl. 2) Use a mixer to beat whites into peaks which keep their form when cut with a knife. 3) Add pwdered sugar and beat in. Making houses (Requires fine work, ladies welcome) 1) Break 1 cracker in half so that there are two equal size squares. 2) Stack them on top of each other and turn the top cracker a quarter turn to create a triangular peak. 3) Use the royal icing to "glue" the two pieces together. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 to make the other side wall of the house. 5) Use two whole crackers for the front and back walls. "Glue" all four sides together. 6) Allow to dry a few hours. 7) Use two whole crackers to lay across for the roof. "Glue" in place. 8) Fill in cracks with icing and allow to dry overnight. Decorating (The fun part) 1) Use muffin tins to unwrap and separate leftover Halloween candy. 2) Starting with the roof, ice one section at a time and decorate. If candies appear to be too heavy for house, let icing dry for a few minutes first. Other hints - We like to make a house for each member of the family. Kids as young as 3 can do their own. - Create a village by covering a piece of cardboard with foil. "Glue" houses down. Make pathways with M&M and tart "stones". Make paper cones, color some of the icing and create pine trees to decorate. Add gingerbread men. - If you would prefer to eat finished houses, substitute egg whites with powdered merengue found in candy making supplies.
Double Divinity Servings: 27 drops or 1 1/2 pounds Recipe Ingredients 2 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup light corn syrup syrup 2 egg whites 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla Recipe Directions Combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in 2 qt. heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. If sugar crystals form on sides of pan, wipe them off. Reduce heat and cook without stirring until temperature reaches firm ball stage (248 degrees). Just before candy mixture reaches 248 degrees, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Slowly pour about half of the hot mixture over egg whites, beating constantly with electric mixer at medium speed. Continue to cook remaining syrup to the soft crack stage (272 degrees). Beating constantly, pour hot mixture, a tablespoonful at a time, over egg white mixture, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture begins to lose its gloss and a small amount dropped from a spoon holds soft peaks. If mixture becomes too stiff for mixer, beat with wooden spoon. Mix in vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. You can either make the snowy white divinity or tint it mint green with food coloring and top with a walnut or pecan half. NOTE: Always use Domino sugar. Most other sugars have added ingredients that can ruin candy. Also make it on a sunny day, they turn out better that way.
