Recipe Instructions:
-
Boil Sugar, Evaporated Milk, and Butter: In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
-
Add Marshmallows and Mix: Add the marshmallows to the pot immediately after removing from heat. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the marshmallows are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Incorporate Graham Crackers and Nuts: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Let Mixture Cool: Allow the mixture to sit in the saucepan for about 10 minutes, or until it’s cool enough to handle. It will firm up as it cools.
-
Shape Candy Balls: While the mixture is still slightly warm, shape it into small balls using your hands. If the mixture becomes too hard to shape, warm it slightly over low heat.
-
Chill: Place the formed candy balls on greased waxed paper and chill them in the refrigerator until they are firm.
-
Optional Coating: For an extra indulgent touch, coat the chilled balls with powdered sugar or dip them in melted chocolate. Chill again to set the coating.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Fantastic Graham Cracker Candy Balls chilled and savor every delicious bite!
