Butter Fudge Fingers Recipes

Steps:

• Chocolate Layer: Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line an 8 inch baking pan with foil.
• Grease foil.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Set both aside.
• Melt butter and chocoalte in a large microwave bowl on high 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until melted.
• Transfer to a large mixer bowl and beat in sugar and eggs on medium high speed until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture just until combined.
• Fold in pecans.
• Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until just set in middle and sides just begin to pull away from the pan, 22 to 26 minutes.
• Cool completely on wire rack.
• Buttercream Topping: Beat butter, confectioner's sugar, cream and vanilla in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Reduce speed to low and beat until fluffy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Chocolate Drizzle: Stir chocolate and butter together in small bowl until smooth.
• Cool slightly and transfer to a heavy duty plastic storage bag.
• Lift chocolate layer out of pan.
• Peel off foil.
• Transfer to a flat surface lined with waxed paper.
• Spread buttercream evenly over top of cookie.
• Snip one tiny corner of plastic bag and drizzle chocolate glaze over top as desired.
• Let stand until chocolate is set, 30 to 60 minutes.
• Cut into 3 1/2 x 1 inch bars.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, water, butter and condensed milk together in a somewhat tall pot (the mixture rises quickly) and bring to a gentle boil. While the fudge is boiling, stir continously with a wooden spoon for about half an hour, to ensure no sugar burns to the bottom of the pot.
• Nearing the half-hour mark, the fudge should then have become greatly reduced in quantity, thick, sticky, and most importantly, should have the typical darker "brown" colour of fudge (but dark muddy brown means it's turned into toffee). It's better to leave it on longer if unsure, than to take it off the boil prematurely.
• Once it looks ready, take off the boil, add the Vanilla Essence, and beat thoroughly for a minute, then pour mixture into a greased baking tray and allow to cool.
• for at least 6 hours.
• Cut into squares once cooled properly (could take up to 6 hours). The result should be a fudge that is solid, but crumbly around the edges when you cut it (as opposed to the soft and chewy Nougat variety). It should also have a grainy texture. It may take a few attempts to perfect this recipe in a way you enjoy it the most; also note that if your mixture turns into toffee or fails completely, it's best to try again another day with new ingredients as failures often happen for no discernable reason.
