This fudge has the best flavor EVER! After reading others' reviews and seeing the complaint of a tough fudgy brick I decided to cook it in a double boiler rather than the saucepot. I find that when cooking sugar it is easier to do so in a double boiler as it doesn't overcook and get tough. It turned out gorgeous perfect and tasty!
Very good recipe. I used pepperment extract and then topped the fudge with crushed candy canes for some christmas fudge. I also used cocoa powder and some extra butter as I was out of choc squares. It still turned out smooth and creamy.
I made this fudge over the holidays & it was a big hit! It had a nice creamy consistancy. I also could not find a vanilla fudge recipe to try so I made this one. I omitted the chocolate & added vanilla. I liked the flavor the sour cream added.
I followed the recipe word for word and even used a candy thermometer. It came out so hard that it couldn't be cut or broken into pieces couldn't even bit it. I wouldn't try the recipe again.
I wanted to try a recipe with sour cream to see how it would cook and come out. I used white chocolate chips and a rootbeer flavoring. I added more butter and left out the nuts. The fudge was DELICIOUS! I have used cream and evaporated milk before but this gives a tang and a wonderful texture. Try it... you'll be amazed. Great!
OH. MY. GOSH. This turned out soooooo creamy and wonderful almost caramel-ish. I didn't have unsweetened chocolate squares so I used about 8 ounces of Hershey's milk chocolate chips. (I didn't actually measure.) Along with the nuts at the end I added a 1/2 cup of raisins as well. SOOOOOOOO good! I cooked this on top of a double boiler but I couldn't get it to reach 240 so I put the double boiler right over the burner and in no time the thermometer was up to the right temperature. I WILL make this again. I'm already thinking about all the variations I can make!
I was afraid that this wouldn't turn out due to it's unconventional cooking method. It turned out beautifully. The next batch I'm going to add coconut!
I followed the directions EXACTLY and it turned to a rock hard clump in my pan! Don't make this the chunks we got out weren't even good! I will stick to my recipe with fluff. Zero stars.
Yummy! I love making fudge and this came out great!
