Fudge is a classic treat that has captivated the hearts and taste buds of many for decades. Its smooth, creamy texture coupled with a rich, decadent flavour makes it an irresistible indulgence. If you're interested in mastering the art of creating this sweet delight, follow our step-by-step guide to achieve old-fashioned fudge perfection.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- Sugar: 2 cups
- Butter: 1/2 cup (or margarine)
- Milk: 2/3 cup
- Chocolate Chips: 2 cups
- Marshmallow Cream: 1 jar (7 oz)
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Nuts (optional): 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare Your Tools: Start by lining your 8x8 inch pan with aluminium foil or parchment paper, which will make it easier to remove the fudge later.
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, mix sugar, butter, and milk. Stir constantly until it comes to a rolling boil.
- Boil and Stir: Let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes while stirring continuously. This is crucial to avoid burning the sugar.
- Remove from Heat: Once the mixture thickens, remove it from the heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted into the mix.
- Add Flavour and Finish: Thoroughly mix in marshmallow cream, vanilla extract, and chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour and Set: Pour the mix into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Let the fudge cool at room temperature or place it in the fridge to set more quickly.
- Slice and Enjoy: Once set, lift the fudge using the foil or parchment and slice into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy your homemade old-fashioned fudge that’s sure to impress!
