MARSHMALLOW FLUFF FUDGE
2 ½ cups white granulated sugar
¾ cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
12 ounce package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
7 ounce jar marshmallow cream (also called marshmallow fluff)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a 3 quart heavy saucepan over high heat, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Use a wooden spoon to stir slowly until butter melts, scraping sides of pan to get all the sugar crystals.
Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly with a long wooden spoon. Once it starts boiling, set a timer for 5 minutes and turn the heat down to medium so that you don’t burn your fingers off – it should be boiling the full 5 minutes. Stir constantly.
When the timer goes off, remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until all chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Add marshmallow creme and beat with a wooden spoon until well blended. Add vanilla and mix well. Immediately pour into the prepared pan.
Let cool to room temperature. (Good luck with that)
Slice and serve! Store on the counter covered.

DIDDLE DADDLE SPRINGMIELIESTROOP
1 eetlepel margarien
200 ml karamel geur bruinsuiker
3 eetlepels water

Voeg die bestanddele in ‘n klein potjie. Roer dit tot die mengsel begin kook. Sit deksel op en kook vir 3 minute sonder om te roer. Dit is reg wanneer daar niks suiker teen die pot se rand sit nie. Gooi die stroop oor 4-5 koppies klaar gespringde springmielies en roer dit vinnig deur.
Laat dit so rukkie afkoel dan breek jy dit uit mekaar uit.
Ek het dit in die yskas geplaas om koud te word. Was heerlik.

Maak nogals baie.
Nota:  Het jare terug resep by my buurtannie gekry. Het al so baie gemaak dat ek nie meer resep gebruik nie. Die beslag moet loskom van kante van pot anders gaan dit nie stol nie.

PEANUTBUTTER FUDGE
1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter (I used smooth)
4-4 ½ cups icing sugar, sifted (might need less or bit more, just check your consistency and if you want it a bit stiffer then just add more icing sugar)

Melt butter and peanut butter together in microwave until melted, remove and mix in the icing sugar to form a stiff consistency. Please feel free to melt chocolate and pour it over once the fudge has set. Amazing!!
