I Want ALL the Fudge!
Fudge is the absolute best. It’s rich and tasty and the decadent bars remind me of holiday parties and neighbor gifts at Christmas time! You can eat a little or a lot but no matter what, it always tastes amazing! It is so good and the combination of flavors is endless! I had a hard time choosing, but I did it! I have compiled this list of all of my tried and true favorites! WIth how many different tastes there are, fudge can appeal to anyone. Add some savory with a little salted caramel or go entirely sweet with oreo cookies. These recipes not only make your fudge taste impressive but they will look beautiful as well! You could even make a few different ones at a time and have options for people at a party. Or, make some for yourself and snack on it all week long, there is no judgment here! They are all so easy and you will have delicious and mouthwatering fudge in no time!
Bigger pan: When you are cooking up your fudge, go for the larger saucepan for your ingredients. They will expand while heating up. This way, you won’t have any of your ingredients overflowing! Sugar crystals: You want your fudge smooth and sugar crystal free! If you are having a hard time doing this, try a recipe that calls for marshmallow or corn syrup instead! These will prevent that from happening and your fudge will be silky smooth. Don’t stir: I know it’s tempting to continue, but after your bring your it to a boil, stop stirring. As soon as it reaches temperature, take it off the heat immedietly and DON’T STIR IT. This causes any sugar crystals to multiply and will cause it to seize. Use a thermometer: Don’t try and figure out how to cook thes recipes without one. A candy thermometer is a MUST.
