Hot Pepper Fudge!

Every year I make fudge for my family, but it's not the fudge that most folks remember from their youth.  My Christmas fudge gives you a little more flavor than that plain old stuff that they sell in the candy store!

Some people love it and some hate it but if you are a chili head, nothing is better than hot pepper fudge.  I've listed the recipe below, feel free to add more peppers or to change the type of pepper you use.

I hope you enjoy this ... Merry Christmas Everyone!



HOT PEPPER FUDGE

3 cups sugar

3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 12-oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 7-oz. jar Marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine sugar, margarine and milk in heavy saucepan; bring to full rolling bail, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Using a candy thermometer make sure the temperature reaches 234 degrees. 

Remove from heat, stir in chocolate till melted, add marshmallow creme, hot pepper and vanilla.

Beat till blended. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Let cool and cut into 1-inch squares.

Enjoy!
