Sour Cream Candy Recipes

CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM FUDGE

Steps:

• Butter an 8 inch square baking dish, and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil; cover and cook one minute. Stir until well blended. Remove the lid, and without stirring, heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Remove from the heat, and add the chocolate and vanilla. Do not stir. Set the pan over a wire rack until the mixture cools to about 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). This should take about 15 minutes.
• Beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until it thickens and loses its gloss. Stir in walnuts, and pour into the buttered dish. Spread evenly, then set aside to cool. Cut into small squares.

• 3. Remove from heat, add butter and beat until fudge starts thicken and loose it's gloss. Quickly stir in nuts, if desired and pour into prepared 4x8 loaf pan. Allow to completely cool then cut into 1" squares and enjoy!!! Store in refrigerator in an air tight container. Freezes well.
• 4. *nuts- my favorite is pistachios, then pecans, my dads favorite is walnuts and my grandma's favorite is black walnuts...so the choice is yours! *I've added dried cherries to this before, add with the nuts. *Also, I've used light sour cream and it's turned out just fine. *Also, when time to beat, I use a hand held electric mixer, my mom has always beat by hand, so either method works just fine, though if using a mixer, it cools much faster, so watch it closely as you want to pour it as soon as it starts to loose it's gloss. If you wait to long it will harden and you won't be able to pour it, let alone spread it in the pan. :)
