I think the method would work if I used less butter and if it didn't get thick nook it longer. Next time I'll be sure and do the test with cold water t o see if its at softball stage or not before I mix in the flavor and vanila. But yeah, cook those mallows with the rest of the stuff that has to heat up. Works much easier. Smiles.

I am in a rural town in Mexico and cannot get the cream version here. Fortunately, giant size marshmallows are popular here. The problem with microwaves is that they do not all put out the same power. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Holly Alonzo" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2010 3:35 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] MICROWAVE FANTASY FUDGE > Hy Cheryl, this is the method I used.
