Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
- 2 sticks salted butter
- 2 XL Hershey's Symphony bars (4.25 ounce)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 or just smaller dish by buttering and adding parchment sheets for easiest slicing.In a large, glass or heat-proof bowl, add chopped butter and chocolate. Set aside. In a large stove pot, add sugar and evaporated milk, whisk to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, and turn heat to med-low.Boil mixture 8-9 minutes or until softball stage. (I do not use a candy thermometer, just boil for 8 minutes and test in a cup of ice water for softball stage). Stir boiling mixture every couple of minutes as to avoid scorching on the bottom of the pan. After 8 minutes, remove mixture from heat and pour over bowl of chopped butter and chocolate. Work quickly to stir mixture with a wooden spoon, and when chunks are all melted use a whisk to whip until silky smooth and butter is fully combined and incorporated.Quickly pour fudge into prepared pan. Allow to cool fully at room temperature and set.Place in the refrigerator and chill before slicing. Fudge will be soft and can be enjoyed at room temp or chilled. Store in a ziplock or airtight container.
