A gift mug holding two small bags of fudge mix: chocolate, sugar and nuts in one, peppermint and marshmallows in the other. The recipient microwaves it into fudge.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 5 crushed peppermint candies
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 1/2 tablespoons margarine (added when you cook the fudge)
Equipment
- zip-top bags
- mug
Directions
- Put the chocolate chips, sugar, and nuts together in one small zip-top bag.
- Put the crushed peppermint and marshmallows in a second bag.
- Set both bags in a mug lined with tissue, and add a tag and a small wooden spoon if you like.
Notes
Empty the chocolate mixture into the mug and add the margarine. Microwave about 3 minutes. Right away, stir in the marshmallows and crushed peppermint until the marshmallows melt. Cool 5 to 7 minutes, then refrigerate 8 to 10 minutes to set. Dry gift mix: cool, dry place, use within about 1 month, or refrigerate and use within 2 months. Prepared fudge: refrigerate, eat within 3 to 4 days.
