Easy Cream Cheese Fudge

This easy fudge is made with cream cheese and white chocolate chips and chocolate chips.

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, soft
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips
1 ounce (1 square) semisweet baking chocolate
2 teaspoon shortening
3/4 cup chopped pecans, reserve extra pecan halves for garnish

In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth . Melt white chocolate chips in microwave on LOW until smooth, stirring occasionally. Fold into cream cheese mixture with chopped pecans. Spread into a greased 8 inch baking dish. Chill until ready to frost. Melt baking chocolate with shortening in microwave on LOW (about 2 minutes). Pour over top of fudge and spread to cover. Garnish with reserved pecan halves. Cool, then cut into squares.



Easy Breezy Fudge

This easy chocolate fudge is a snap to make with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and a little butter. If you use the microwave to heat the mixture, be sure to stir it frequently until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is well blended.

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
1 cup milk chocolate chips (6 ounces)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan; line with a piece of plastic wrap about 18 to 24 inches in length, leaving the ends out to cover the finished fudge. The ends will also serve as "handles" which will help you lift the fudge out of the pan.

Heat the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in nuts, if using; pour into the prepared pan. Spread gently then cover lightly with the ends of the plastic wrap. Chill until firm. Lift out of the pan and cut into small squares.

[Willow]

I picked #1 but I prefer to bake cookies in the oven.

[Mom2-3boys]

Recipe 1.....these were a childhood favorite because when I would ask my mom if we could make cookies and we wouldn't have a lot of time these are what we would make...then throw them in the freezer.
Both my older boys that have gone through FACS (HomeEc) have learned to make these so they make them by themselves too
