Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will directly impact the taste of your fudge. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Cook the fudge to the right temperature: The key to perfect fudge is cooking it to the right temperature. Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches 234°F (112°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • Stir the fudge constantly: Stirring the fudge constantly while it is cooking will help to prevent it from scorching. It will also help to create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Cool the fudge properly: Once the fudge is cooked, it is important to let it cool properly. Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan and let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours. Then, cover the fudge and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Cut the fudge into squares: Once the fudge is chilled, cut it into squares using a sharp knife. You can also use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes.
