A reinterpretation of an original fantasy fudge, but with extra chocolate. It’s easy to make a huge batch so you can have a stock ready for the times ahead. Serve it on Christmas for an even more special holiday. Prep time: 5 minsCook time: 15 minsCooling: 4 hrsTotal time: 4 hrs 20 minsServings: 48 servingsYield: 3 pounds Ingredients 3 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cup unsalted butter 2/3 cup (one 5-ounce can) evaporated milk 1 pound semi-sweet chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup chopped walnuts Directions Prep the baking pan and assemble the ingredients: Prepare everything in advance and have ready to go — chopped chocolate, chopped nuts, the marshmallow cream already out of the jar and in a bowl that you can easily scrape out with a rubber spatula.Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with foil, butter the inside. Boil the sugar, butter, and milk: In a 3-quart, thick-bottomed saucepan, bring sugar, butter, and milk to a rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly once the mixture begins to bubble.Once the mixture reaches a boil, set your timer to 4 minutes. You will want to remove the mixture from the heat once it reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer (adjust for altitude as needed) which should take about 4 minutes. If you don’t have a candy thermometer, just go with the four minutes. Finish the fudge: Remove from heat. Quickly stir in chocolate and marshmallow creme.Once the chocolate and marshmallow creme have melted and are well mixed, stir in the vanilla and then the walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan Cool to room temperature before slicing: Cool the fudge for about 4 hours. You may want to chill in the refrigerator to get it more firm. Source: Simply Recipes

Thanksgiving couldn’t get easier. These mashed potatoes feel sophisticated thanks to the celery root. Celery root is a knobby root vegetable that appears from fall to early spring. Look for a root that doesn’t have any mushy spots and is heavy for its size. It’ll strike a slightly sweet and earthy flavor in the mashed potatoes. Yield: Serves 4 to 6, Makes 4 cupsPrep time: 25 minsCook time: 30 mins Ingredients 3 quarts (12 cups) cold water 1 medium celery root (1 pound) 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (3 large, or 5 to 6 medium) 3 peeled cloves garlic 2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning 1 bay leaf 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 pinch cayenne pepper, plus more as needed Directions Place 2 quarts cold water in a large pot. Trim the top stalks (if present) and bottom roots from 1 medium celery root. Peel the remaining skin from the celery root with a vegetable peeler or sharp knife. Halve the celery root, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Stacking a few slices at a time, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide matchsticks, adding them to the pot of cold water as they are cut to prevent them from turning brown. Peel 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3-inch chunks, and add to the pot. Add 3 peeled garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, and 1 bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally, until a paring knife goes easily into the potatoes and the celery root is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place a heatproof colander in the sink. Place 5 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 40 seconds. (Alternatively, melt the butter on the stovetop.) When the vegetables are ready, scoop out 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the vegetables through the colander and let sit for a minute to let some of the steam dissipate. Discard the bay leaf, then pass the vegetables through a food mill back into the pot, or return the vegetables to the pot and mash with a potato masher until smooth. (Do not use a ricer, which will not break down the celery root very well.) Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Stir in the reserved cooking liquid a little at a time to achieve a loose, creamy mash (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Season with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Taste and season with more kosher salt and cayenne if desired. Source: the Kitchn
