Fudge tips please?

I made fudge last night for the first time, it didn't set so I've fixed it this morning by melting it down, heating it back up to temp and resetting and it's come out ok.

Anyone got any good tips for making fudge for me for next time please?

I have made this several times with all sorts of different chocolate, it has never failed
I have made it with lots of variations, with salted caramel condensed milk, without the vanilla essence, with peppermint aero, terrys chocolate orange, milky bar and a mixture of chocolate , has always turned out well.

Yes you can use all sorts of combinations and mix and match the various chocolate, it's so simple, you just have to remember to stir it every 15 minutes. I don't put as much butter in mine now as I found it a bit " greasy"

Try this one. I usually substitute marshmallows for the fluff as they are cheaper and melt down fine.



Never Fail Fudge


7½ oz jar Marshmallow Fluff
2½ cups sugar
¾ tsp salt
½ stick butter or margarine
5 oz evaporated milk
¾ tsp vanilla
12 oz (~2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan; set aside. In large saucepan combine first 5 ingredients. Stir over low heat until blended. Increase heat to medium and bring to a full-rolling boil being careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles for boiling. Boil slowly, stirring constantly, 3½ – 5 minutes to the soft ball stage*. Remove from heat, stir in semi-sweet chocolate pieces until they are melted. Stir in vanilla. Add nuts. Turn into greased pan and cool. Makes 2½ pounds.

*The soft ball stage is a test to see if the fudge has been cooked to the proper stage. Before you start cooking, fill a small dish with ice water and set aside. After you have brought the recipe to a full boil for 3½ minutes, dribble a few drops of the mixture into the ice water from a wooden spoon. After it cools in the water (about 10 seconds), you should be able to roll it into small ball with your finger tips. If you put it in your mouth, it will be slightly chewy. If it passes these tests, you are done and should remove the mixture from heat and add the remaining ingredients. Otherwise, cook for another 30 seconds and try the test again. Most of the time, cooking time will not exceed 5 minutes.

I use the carnation recipe from the tin and it is very reliable.

Also lots of other ideas on the Carnation website
