Comments:
This creamy, rich fudge is lightened by the marshmallows. The fudge will keep, uncut, in the refrigerator for 1 week, tightly wrapped in aluminum foil. Cut into bars or squares before serving or packing into gift boxes. Makes a great holiday gift.

Ingredients:
4 tbsp.(1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/8 tsp. salt
4 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions:
Lightly butter an 8-inch square pan.

In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, half-and-half and salt and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Using a pastry brush dipped in hot water, brush down any sugar crystals that form on the sides of the pan. Boil for 2 1/2 minutes and then stir in the chocolate until melted and well blended. Continue to boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 234°F, 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool until almost room temperature, or 110°F on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes. Using an electric mixer, beat the fudge until the color dulls and the fudge is creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the walnuts by hand.

Sprinkle the marshmallows in the prepared pan and spoon the fudge over them. Lay a piece of plastic wrap across the surface and, using your hands, press the fudge down into the marshmallows. Remove the plastic and smooth the surface of the fudge with a spatula. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate until firm, about 6 hours. Cut into 2-inch bars, or any shape desired, to serve or give as a gift.

Makes 16 (2-inch) bars.

Sorry, but what is 1/2 cup half-and-half? I want to do this recipe.

Rema, half and half is a dairy product, with 10-12% fat. You can look it up online. you are probably writing from Singapore, might be more difficult to find half & half, but try to get some dairy product with about the same milk fat content.
