Who doesn't love homemade candy? Everybody likes a treat now and then, and a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without spending a lot of money or time is to make chocolate fudge.
Fudge can be a quick and easy candy to whip up before birthdays, holidays, a dinner party, or just because you want something tasty on hand.
This recipe isn't particularly fancy, but it is made from some simple baking ingredients that most people keep on hand - so it is likely that you could make a batch right now. Even if you don't have all the ingredients on hand they are easy to find and inexpensive, which makes this mixture easy for anyone to make.
Ingredients
- 12 teaspoons Butter, and more for oiling the pan
- 21 cup Whole Milk
- 32 teaspoon Vanilla
- 41/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 52 cups White Sugar
- 61/2 teaspoon Salt
Utensils
- 1Measuring Spoons and Cups
- 2Whisk
- 3Spoon
- 4Heat Resistant Spatula
- 5Pot or Saucepan
- 6Oven Safe Dish/Baking Pan
- 7Candy Thermometer
Procedure
- 1Mix until well blended.In a heavy pot or saucepan, put in the white sugar, cocoa powder and the salt.
Notes
- Before putting the fudge in a pan to cool, mix in something fun, like nuts or other candies.
- If chocolate bar is available make use of it instead of cocoa powder.
- To a creamier fudge, make use of heavy cream instead of whole milk.
- Use butter with (80%) fat. Other butter such as light and diet has extra water content and contains different fats that can cause the fudge to fail.
- If using chocolate bar, make sure to chop it into small pieces.
- If the fudge became too stiff, knead it with your hands and place back to the container or better yet, roll it (like huge sausage) the cut.
