Make Chocolate Fudge in a Ziploc Bag
Fudge is a soft, creamy candy that originated in America sometime in the late 1800's. It is said that fudge was the result of a bad batch of caramels that didn't quite turn out right. There are many different types of fudge today, but the common ingredient in most of them is chocolate. Fudge is usually made by boiling ingredients together until they reach a certain temperature and then it is spread onto a baking sheet to cool. However, not all fudge is made in this manner. An easier, almost foolproof, method is to make fudge in a Ziploc bag.
Instructions
1. Set out butter and cream cheese until they become room temperature. This will help, later on, to make the mixing process easier.
2. Place 3 oz. cream cheese, 1 lb. powdered sugar, ½ cup cocoa and 2 tbsp.butter into a one gallon Ziploc bag. Seal the bag tightly by pressing the Ziploc strips together. Place the bag of ingredients inside another 1 gallon Ziploc bag and seal it shut.
3. Mix the ingredients inside the bags by pressing to squish them together. Continue squishing the bag with your hands until the ingredients are completely blended together.
4. Cut the tip off of one corner of the Ziploc bags, using scissors. Squeeze the fudge out of the bags and onto a serving plate. The fudge may also be used as decoration for cupcakes, cakes and other desserts.
