    Default Chocolate Drops

    Someone mentioned chocolate drops for a fudge recipe. Is this what is meant by chocolate drops? Looked at Walmart and grocery store but could not find.

    I have seen them in the aged candy area. Sometimes they are at Walgreens and CVS in the candy aisle.

    I was going to check a little specialty bulk foods store here, but just found out it has gone out of business. Not surprising really...Just couldn't find its customer base here I guess.

    I haven't made fudge in a while but if I want to try it, I can always use the cocoa recipe that calls for soft ball or candy thermometer checking.

    I did try the cream cheese/chips/powdered sugar recipe but it is a little too soft for us. I actually used cinnamon chips (Hersheys) and he likes the flavor. Surprised me that he liked it...unique.

    This recipe makes a nice creamy fudge & it's not hard to make. I make it every year for Christmas & every one loves it.

    5 Pound Fudge

    4 1/2 cups sugar
    1 stick (1/4 pound) margarine
    1 Can (regular size - 12 ounces?) Carnation Evaporated Milk
    1 pint Marshmallow Cream (2 Cups or one 7 1/2 ounce size jar)
    3 Cups of Chocolate or Peanut Butter chips (20 ounces)** see note below
    9 x 13 glass dish (buttered)
    Wooden spoon (works best for stirring)

    In a large skillet over medium heat combine: Sugar, Carnation Evaporated Milk & Margarine.

    Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. As soon as it starts to bubble/boil set timer for 9 minutes. Stir occasionally once it starts to boil. After 9 minutes remove from heat & stir in Chocolate or Peanut butter Chips & Marshmallow until well blended. Pour into glass dish. Let set up before cutting into squares. Keep in a cool place well covered ( I use plastic wrap stretched tight over the glass dish). It will stay soft & creamy. Note: the Peanut Butter will be just a little stiffer than the chocolate.

    Since everyone has changed the size of products... **I use two 10 ounce bags of Peanut Butter Chips. For the Chocolate I buy the 26 ounce bag & measure out 3 Cups.
