Hi Desi, I recently had a fudge disaster of my own. I made pumpkin fudge with a friend and ended up using too much pumpkin. It tasted good, but was very loose and had the consistency of peanut butter. I ate it but didn't like the consistency at all. I too have made fudge all of my life with wonderful results. Chocolate chip packages usually have good recipes for fudge on them. The ones I've made start out with about 3 cups of sugar and 2/3 cup of evaporated milk. Stir that together and cook until it is at a rolling boil. Add 1/2 cup marshmellows, one 10-12 ounce package chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 2 tablespoons butter. Turn off the heat before you add those other ingredients. Stir until everything is melted. Add in vanilla last. Let cool and when it is warm, pour into desired pan covered in waxed paper. Hope this helps. Turns out great every time. Also, look for fodges you don't have to cook that use powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Merry Christmas to everyone! -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 12/22/14, desi noller via Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> wrote:
Subject: [CnD] Fudge Disaster: Please Help! To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Date: Monday, December 22, 2014, 9:01 AM Hi Eyone, For some reason this year, each recipe of fudge I have tried to make this year has been a disaster! I have made fudge all of my life, and I have no idea why doing so has been so difficult this time around! Out of 3 batches I have tried thus far, only one has been salvageable! I have a feeling it may be that I am now using an electric stove where I always used a gas stove before. Anyway, I've even tried Microwave fudge, but even though I thought I was being extremely careful, it still turned out grainy. I'm looking for something that has the flavor and consistency of Marshmallow Cream Fudge or (Fantasy Fudge) that is as simple as possible to make. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas!
