CREAMY RICH CHOCOLATE FUDGE



Creamy Rich Chocolate Fudge image

This is an extremely rich and creamy fudge recipe, it will definitely satisfy a sweet tooth craving. My husband and co-workers are always asking me to make this. If you have never made fudge, it may take a few times to get it right. Do not heat past 238 degrees or the fudge becomes dry. Also, if it is cooled too much before you beat it, it will harden very quickly. Beat the fudge until it just starts to lose its gloss.

1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan heat chocolate and milk on low, stirring until melted.

  • After it has cooled, beat until it starts to lighten, lose its gloss and thicken.
  • Pour into a greased 8 by 8 inch dish and let cool completely.
  • Cut into cubes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your fudge. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. Stir the chocolate constantly while melting it over low heat.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making fudge. It will help you to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature before removing it from the heat.
  • Let the fudge cool completely: Fudge needs to cool completely before you can cut it. Allow it to cool for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
