Marshmallow Fudge Cookies

Total Time: 3 hrs Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 2 cups small marshmallows, diced
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup nuts, finely chopped
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares (baker's)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2-1 cup powdered sugar

Recipe

• 1 combine diced marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and nuts in a medium bowl and mix well.
• 2 combine sugar, whole milk, unsweetened chocolate, and salt in a medium pot on the stove and boil to soft ball stage, watching for sticking and stirring frequently. (this is the tricky part -- you can't leave it- it can either stick or boil over).
• 3 gradually increase heat, stirring constantly. you are looking for a thick consistency and have to keep moving the heat up and down while stirring to try to reach soft ball stage. (if you don't make candy --- i don't, so i had to research this a bit --- and don't know what that means, here is how to do the soft ball test: have a bowl of cold water ready next to your stove. drop a small amount of the mixture into the cold water to see if a ball forms. once one does, you can remove the mixture from heat).
• 4 cool second mixture and add 1 t vanilla and 2 t butter. mix well.
• 5 pour the sugar mixture into the bowl containing the marshmallow mixture, and mix well.
• 6 pack into a greased 9x13" pan and cool in fridge. chill until firm.
• 7 cut into squares and toss in powdered sugar.
