Do-it-Yourself Fudge Pops!
by Jeanne Dupuis on May 27th, 2008

Summertime is fast-approaching and, in no time, you’ll be wishing you had something cool and tasty to grab from your freezer! While I love the stuff you get from grocery and corner stores, it’s also nice to be able to make something delicious if you don’t feel like going out or even if you want to have more control over the flavor and fat content of your treats!

Good Morning America featured a couple recipes for do-it-yourself frozen fudge pops and the great thing is that, for lighter versions, fat-free half-and-half can be substituted in either recipe! Also, as I mentioned above, it’s nice to be able to control the taste of your own snacks so, again, substitutions can be made in these recipes: the cherry jam in the Chocolate Cherry Fudge Pops can be replaced with any jam. Raspberry, apricot and strawberry are nice. And peanut butter is excellent in the Chocolate Marshmallow Pops.

Serving numbers will vary depending on the size of your frozen pop molds.

Chocolate Cherry Fudge Pops (makes about 8 servings)

Ingredients
* 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
* 1 cup chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup cherry jam
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch salt

Directions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the half-and-half and chocolate chips. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted. Transfer the mixture to a blender, being sure to scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the pan.

Add the jam, vanilla and salt, then puree for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Divide the mixture between about 8 frozen pop molds (number will vary by size), then insert sticks according to product directions. Freeze for at least several hours.


Chocolate Marshmallow Pops (makes about 8 servings)

Ingredients
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1 cup half-and-half
* 1 cup chocolate chips
* 1 cup mini marshmallows
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch salt

Directions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream, half-and-half, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chips and marshmallows are melted.

Transfer the mixture to a blender, being sure to scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the pan.

Add the vanilla and salt, then puree for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Divide the mixture between about 8 frozen pop molds (number will vary by size), then insert sticks according to product directions. Freeze for at least several hours.

This yummy fudge is a fail-safe recipe perfected by CARNATION - they taste as good as they look!

Ingredients:
* 397g can CARNATION Condensed Milk
* 150ml (¼ pt) milk
* 450g (1lb) demerara sugar
* 115g (4oz) butter
* 150g (5 ¼ oz) glace cherries, halved
* 55g (2oz) stem ginger, chopped

Directions:
# 1 Grease and base line a 20cm (8in) square tin with baking parchment.

# 2 Heat the milk, sugar and butter in a large, non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan. Test the fudge at intervals by dropping a little of the mixture into ice-cold water. Press the blob between your fingers (carefully as it will be very hot!). If a soft ball forms then it's ready to beat.

# 3 Remove from the heat, cool slightly and beat the fudge until thick and grainy. This usually takes about 10 minutes - see if you can find a couple of eager helpers.

# 4 Gently stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into the prepared tin and leave to cool before cutting into squares.

TIPS: Once you've mastered the original recipe, try these versions - or get creative and invent your own!

* Chocolate - melt 150g (5 ¼ oz) plain chocolate and stir through before beating the fudge.
* Rum and raisin - stir through a good dash of rum and 115g (4oz) chopped raisins.
* Toasted pecan and cinnamon - toast a large handful of chopped pecan nuts in a dry pan with a sprinkling of cinnamon until the nuts start to smell aromatic. Set aside to cool slightly then stir through the fudge mixture at the end of beating.
* Confectionery fudge - chop up your favourite chocolate such as KitKat or Munchies and stir through cooled beaten fudge.

MORE: (From my message board-Helen-PA): I use the Nestles caramel loaf, then dip in mini marshmallows or others & finish w/honey crushed nut topping, or english toffee, mini choc. milk, dark or white wafers, etc. I charge $12.00 for each apple right now.

Ingredients
Cookie:

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1/3 cup cocoa
* 1 large egg, beaten
* 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
* 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
* 1/2 cup finely chopped blanched almonds

Peanut Butter Filling:

* 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1/3 cup peanut butter
* 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Chocolate Glaze:

* 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan or casserole with aluminum foil, with long flaps hanging over each edge.

For the cookie: Put the butter in a heatproof medium bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer over medium-low heat. Set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Once the butter is melted, add the sugar and cocoa, and stir to combine. Add the egg and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until warm to the touch and slightly thickened (it should be about the consistency of hot fudge), about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in graham crumbs, coconut and nuts. Press the dough firmly into the prepared pan. (Save the pan of water for melting the chocolate.)

For the filling: Beat the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light. Spread over the cookie and freeze while you prepare the chocolate glaze.

For the glaze: Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl, and set over the barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. (Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue to heat until completely melted, about 1 minute more.). When cool but still runny, pour the chocolate layer over the chilled peanut butter layer and carefully smooth out with an offset spatula. Freeze 30 minutes.

To serve, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Pull out of the pan using the foil flaps and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. Serve cool or at room temperature.

Busy baker's tips: Finished bars can be wrapped in the pan in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil and frozen for up to 1 month.
