Red Cross Fudge Chocolate in the house

Eye popping treat!!

Tonight, J and I had a hankering for something sweet that you can't just buy from local stores. The ingredients and method are so precise and a little bit cumbersome but very rewarding. The dish we have just made is called Red Cross Fudge Chocolate (awwwww, baby!!) 

Here is the recipe for it:

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 Cups Sugar
• 1 (13 Ounce) Can Evaporated Milk
• 1 Cup Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
• 2 Cups Miniature Marshmallows
• 1 (18 Ounce) Bag Semisweet Chocolate Chips
• 2 Cups Chopped Nuts, Such As Pecans Or Walnuts

Directions:

1. Butter 9×13 pan and set aside.
2. In a large pot on stove, turn on heat and stir together with a WOODEN spoon – sugar, evaporated milk, butter and vanilla- until it starts bubbling. Once it starts bubbling, set timer for exactly 11 minutes and keep stirring constantly.
3. When timer goes off, turn off heat and remove pan. Add marshmallows, chocolate chips and nuts.
4. Beat with wooden spoon until marshmallows and chocolate chips are dissolved and mixture is smooth.
5. Pour mixture into prepared 9×13 inch pan.
6. Cool at room temperature, and when cooled and slightly soft, cut into serving size pieces.
   

For chocolate, we used Hershey's Special Dark but you can use any brand as long as its semi sweet. 

The mallows we mixed in were American brand and huge in sizes. So if you're planning to get such as the one you see in the picture (mallow on the left), it'd be wise to chop them down into tiny pieces. This would certainly help melt the mallows faster than with the bigger sizes. 

After mixing, put them in a bowl and chill before serving.

Ps: As far as the evaporated milk is concerned, I don't you can find it (or Korean brand counterpart) at local SK stores. Good thing though there is a Filipino town 20 minutes from where we live .... but I hate to say it... 2 cans of Alaska evap cost us both arms and legs!!
