Do any of you have a great recipe for fudge? I am after one that uses cream really, I am after a soft chewy fudge rather than a dry crumbly one. I have a zillion recipes from the WWW, but if you have a tried and tested that would be perfect. I have to make fudge for the village show at the weekend. :?: :?: :?:
Can you get Marshmallow Creme or another similar product? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E1BKJU There is a fantastic creamy fudge recipe on the label. I have to make it every christmas for my daughters.
I haven't seen that before Toni....with my current dieting dilemmas, that is probably a good thing. I do however have a recipe which includes melting regular marshmallows....I fear I am going to end up making about 10 different sorts of the stuff then trying them all to decide what is the best.
wow, I have just been looking at fudge recipes online s I thought of making them for gifts for christmas but i do not trust myself with the boiling sugar a melted marshmallow recipe may be more appropriate. Some I have found use corn syrup which I am not sure we get here, I might have to not make candy for christmas I dont wanna boil sugar I am too clumsy
Note: I just made a correction on the second recipe, the canned milk is evaporated not condensed. I dug thru my recipe drawer and found two receipes that might fit the bill. They will both make a creamy fudge instead of the harder version. Hopefully you can find the Eagle Brand milk in this one.... Dark Chocolate Fudge 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 (14 ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaportated milk) 1 cup chopped nuts Dash Salt 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Melt chips in Eagle Brand with salt. Remove from heat, stir in nuts and vanilla. Spread into aluminum foil lined 8" square pan, chill 2 hours or until firm. Chocolate Fudge 2 1/4 cups sugar (that's white fine sugar) 1 can evaporated milk 1/4 cup butter 10 large marshmallows halved 6 ounces chocolate chips 1 1/2 cup chopped nuts 1/4 Teaspoon vanilla Combine sugar, mile and butter, bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar disolves. Cook until it reaches soft ball stage on thermometer. Remove and add rest of ingredients. Beat until it holds shape.
EJ....ermmmmm.... I do not have a fudge recipe for you, but I would be willing to help you with judging which was the best sort. (adopting my most innocent face). It'd be a tough job, but you know what they say, "Someone's gotta do it". I can be very altruistic when required.
I can't get marshmallow creme here, but Toni, i have been wanting a creamy fudge recipe for a very long time. Like EJ, i been hesitant to try other. I think i'll try those you posted. So far all recipes i've tried here on the stew have been great. EJ be glad its Sjoerd wanting to help, and not KB. Trust me your better going with Sjoerd as your taste tester,,,lol. Besides i can see Sjoerd now wanting seconds and thirds "just to make sure" lol.
You know me too well, Bitta ---my motto for that day shall be..."Anything worth doing is worth doing well". --- If you check with the International Tasters Society you will see that my impeccable credentials will bear-out that I am very very precise and will go to any lengths to obtain the correct judgement.
Wellllll, I tried the condensed milk version and I don't know what I did wrong, but I ended up with a huge hard ball of grainy fudge....Mark thinks I stired to much at the end. Then I made milk fudge with just sugar, butter and milk, which is okay, but terribly crumbly and sweet. Finally I have made a batch using heavy cream and corn syrup, although I had to use golden syrup as we can't readily get corn syrup, and it is okay, not great, but okay. It is not grainy which is perfect, and it melts in the mouth, but it isn't chewy. I now have some marshmallows, so will try that recipe next week, but for the show, the heavy cream batch will be entered and we will see. I will take oodles of pics and let you know tomorrow how it goes. Sjoerd, I could do with a good taster as I seem to spend all the time poking things into my mouth, and then I make the kids try, and then Mark. Now we all feel sickly and our teeth have fur coats on from all the sugar. I don't know if I will be able to sleep I have such a sugar high!!
Well EJ, it sounds like you put your tasters through their paces. Oh my... over did it, did we? Poor girl. I can just picture you in bed with a green face and a big round beachball tummy--all full of kilos of choccy. Poor thing. So, please do take loads and loads of pics and show them all here on the Stew. What kind of things will be displayed at your Village Show, anyway? I can hardly wait to see.
