Chocolate Nut Fudge Rolls Recipe

Posted on 27. May, 2009 by admin in Chocolate Candy

“The recipe for these rich chocolaty nut rolls comes from a handwritten cookbook full of memorable holiday treats– my mother complied it for me the last Christmas I lived at home.”

INGREDIENTS

* 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
* 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
* 3 cups sugar
* 1 cup milk
* 1/4 cup honey
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vinegar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 1 tablespoon shortening
* 3 cups chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat. Add sugar, milk, honey and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and continue to boil for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vinegar. Let cool to 110 degrees F. Add vanilla; beat vigorously by hand until mixture thickens and loses it gloss, about 8-10 minutes. Turn onto a buttered baking sheet. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Knead for 2-3 minutes. Shape into 4-in. x 1-1/2-in. rolls. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; chill for 3-4 hours. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Dip rolls in chocolate; roll in nuts. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets and chill until firm. Cut into 1/4-in. slices.
