Tired of Chocolate Fudge? Vanilla Fudge Is a Great Alternative!

Chocolate fudge is great! But, there are many people who prefer vanilla fudge over chocolate. Vanilla fudge is a simple delicious alternative to chocolate fudge. If you are like me you probably looked all over the web and found that there are many chocolate fudge recipes, but there are not as many vanilla fudge recipes. Not only does it taste great, it is quick and easy to make! This is the perfect fudge recipe. Next time you host an event and it calls for you to make dessert make vanilla fudge. This will give your guest a sweet surprise that they will remember.

Ingredients:
- 3 ? cups of confectioner's sugar
- 6 table spoons of butter
- 3 table spoons of milk
- 1 table spoon of vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- nonstick cooking spray

Tools:
- 9x5 inch pan
- Wooden spoon
- 3 Quart sauce pan

Take the 9X5 pan and coat it completely with one coat of the nonstick cooking spray. Set the pan aside. Put the 3-quart saucepan on low heat. Mix in vanilla, butter, confectioner's sugar, milk, and salt with your wooden spoon. Stir the mixture until everything is blended and creamy. Quickly pour the contents in to the greased pan. Refrigerate this scrumptious dessert until it is firm. Once the fudge is firm cut it into square sized pieces and serve. Store the rest in an air tight container. These treats are just as delicious as chocolate fudge. Sometimes variety is just what we need.
