Fudge recipes

[jimmysmummy]

We went to Montville yesterday and bought a yummy selection of fudge, which I always do whenever I see a fudge shop

I really want to make my own. Got any recipes you'd like to share?

[~*Bron*~]

oh i shouldn't have googled fudge recipes

Fudge Recipes!

i've lost my plain fudge recipe (day to day cookery from high school! fabulous recipe book)

[jimmysmummy]

Thanks Bron. I found that one yesterday but got confused- what's Oleo? I'm guessing it's a kind of fat/ lard. Wondering what I could substitute.

[~*Bron*~]

ewww. i'd hate to use that. sub butter?

naturally enough, i had to search for the cookbook, and i found the chocolate slice recipe! yay!!!

i'm gonna google russian fudge now

[~*Bron*~]

bum, russian fudge has condensed milk off to find a plain one

[~*Bron*~]

this is the closest i could find to the one i used to make. i put all the ingredients in together tho, and use a wooden spoon to beat

Old-fashioned Fudge

2/3 C milk
1/3 C cocoa
2 C sugar
dash of salt
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix milk and cocoa in pan over low heat until cocoa is dissolved.
Add sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cook and stir over medium
heat till soft ball stage. Remove from heat.

Add 2-3 Tbls butter or margarine. Let cool till butter is melted
(or a little longer if you want). Add vanilla. Beat with electric
mixer until it starts to set up. Pour into buttered pan and let
cool.

Ok silly question.....What is soft ball stage?

[jimmysmummy]

I guess that means until it forms a soft ball?

[MadMumof3]

argh see the only thing i dont have atm is cream of tartar bugger will have to see what other recipe's i can find it sounds so yummy too

[~*Bron*~]

to tell if it is soft ball stage, have a cup of water (cold) and a teaspoon ready, and drop a little of the mix into the water. if you can mould it into a ball with your fingers, it's soft ball and then you get to eat it

if you're like me, you'll start checking for soft ball way too early

leaving it longer will give you various other stages, all the way to hard crack

oh yum I have ALL that stuff in the cupboard, just what I need, another quick unhealthy sweet recipe (like I haven't made brownies a million times!)

[~*Bron*~]

health hint

make it with rice milk, rather than cows' milk. you can't taste it, and it has lower fat. (you could use skim milk but yuck!)

[MadMel]

or I could just be totally unhealthy and make a batch and eat it aaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll
