Tootsie Roll Fudge

Tootsie Roll Fudge
When my husband came home with 50 pounds of Tootsie Rolls he bought at a discount store, I had to figure out a way to use them-so I came up with this recipe! A red or green M&M's candy atop each piece makes them extra jolly.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 cups Tootsie Roll Midgees
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup green and red M&M's

Directions

  • Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 teaspoon
  • butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt the Tootsie Rolls,
  • peanut butter and remaining butter over low heat, stirring
  • constantly. Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar, milk and
  • vanilla (mixture will be very thick). Fold in pecans.
  • Spread into prepared pan. Using a sharp knife, score the surface into
  • 1-in. squares. Press a M&M's candy into the center of each square.
