Why Our Recipe

  • Rich, creamy fudge infused with sweet, gooey marshmallows and a satisfying crunch from toasted walnut pieces.
  • By incorporating a touch of food science into your fudge-making process, you can guarantee a silky-smooth consistency that’s free from any unwanted graininess.
  • To guarantee success in candy-making, we streamline the process, requiring only a thermometer as your essential tool.

Is there anything more indulgent than a rich, creamy fudge, whether you’re returning home for the holidays, looking to gift a thoughtful and homemade sweet treat, or simply craving a decadent indulgence to satisfy your sweet tooth? Accurate execution is crucially vital. We’ve honed in on a timeless fudge recipe that’s remarkably easy to execute and boasting an irresistible blend of textures. Here is the improved text in a different style:

Ingredient Notes

  • Use good old-fashioned granulated sugar, which you probably already have on hand.
  • Select a premium-grade cocoa powder to elevate the richness of your chocolate taste. Considered for its rich flavour profile, Dutch-processed cocoa is an excellent alternative.
  • : Adds creaminess and richness. It’s recommended to avoid substituting with milk or half-and-half when making fudge, as this substitution may compromise the confection’s ability to set correctly.
  • Helps to inhibit crystallization, thereby preserving a consistently smooth and even texture. The sweetest of choices: Light corn syrup indeed proves a worthy ally in this endeavour. Note: This is not the same as high-fructose corn syrup.
  • When using unsalted butter, consider adding a pinch of salt to bring out the rich flavors in the chocolate.
  • Enhances the velvety texture and amplifies the rich, decadent notes of the chocolate.
  • Contributes a rich, velvety texture and indulgent sweetness. Consider substituting marshmallow fluff for a unique twist on traditional frosting.
  • You may opt for either salted or unsalted chopped walnuts. Chopped nuts of various kinds, including pecans, almonds, and peanuts, serve as a versatile substitute option.

Why Corn Syrup?

Research in our test kitchen has shown that incorporating a moderate quantity of corn syrup effectively eliminates graininess and yields a silky texture in fudge recipes. It’s a little food science! Corn syrup is a type of invert sugar that inhibits crystallization. By incorporating this simple trick, you’ll effortlessly secure a silky-smooth consistency rather than an unpleasant gritty one.

Marshmallow Fluff Option

Some fantasy fudge recipes opt for a shortcut by substituting marshmallow fluff for mini marshmallows. For a sweeter treat, swap out regular marshmallows and opt for marshmallow fluff instead – simply replace 1 cup of mini marshmallows with 2/3 cup of the fluffy stuff. To prepare this dessert, you’ll require precisely one and one-third cups of marshmallow fluff for optimal results. Since marshmallow fluff is significantly denser and more concentrated than regular marshmallows, this difference in texture and composition has a direct impact on its use in recipes and culinary applications. If difficulties arise when folding it into the melted fudge, consider warming it gently to facilitate a smoother integration.

Mastering the Soft-ball Stage

Achieving the precise soft-ball stage is absolutely vital for producing flawless fudge. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of your saucepan, ensuring that its bulb remains at least 1-2 inches above the base for accurate readings. At this precise temperature range of 235 to 238 degrees Fahrenheit, the mixture has finally achieved the coveted soft-ball stage.

 If you don’t have a thermometer, a simple alternative is to drop a small spoonful of the hot mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water, it’s ready; if not, continue cooking and testing until it reaches the correct consistency. When you press the mixture gently with your fingers, it should form a pliable ball that easily flattens into a uniform shape.

 As the fudge mixture starts to simmer, it’s crucial to avoid any unnecessary agitation or stirring, lest you inadvertently induce premature crystallization.

Storage & Freezing Instructions

Store leftover foods in airtight containers to maintain freshness or wrap them snugly in plastic wrap for optimal preservation. The items will remain fresh for approximately two weeks.

By cutting the fudge into manageable portions by dividing an 8×8 pan into four rectangular sections. Individual pieces wrapped in plastic wrap are placed within an airtight, freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bag to shield against freezer burn. Fudge can be successfully stored in the freezer for a maximum of three months, its texture and flavor remaining intact.

Frozen fudge left in the refrigerator for several hours or even overnight.
