It's so much fun and so tasty to celebrate holidays like today -- National Fudge Day. I've previously posted recipes for easy, delicious, nutty chocolate fudge, five-minute fudge, and fudgy brownie sundaes so click the links and don't miss those recipes.
You can find recipes for honey fudge, raisin fudge and Victoria fudge on my Joy Of Desserts blog too.
Here's another great chocolate fudge recipe, just perfect for today's celebration.
Chocolate Fudge Recipe
2 cups sugar
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, grated
OR 6 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
few grains of salt
Combine sugar, milk, butter and either grated chocolate OR cocoa. Cover until boiling point is reached. Boil to soft ball stage (234°-238° F.). Add vanilla and let cool, without stirring. Beat until mixture is creamy, thick, and will hold its shape when dropped from a teaspoon. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper, or pour into well-buttered, shallow pan. Cut in squares.
Fudge Tips:
- Do not allow your fudge to go higher than 240° F. or it will become dry and crumbly.
- If you are unfamiliar with what the soft ball stage looks and feels like, be sure to use a candy thermometer for fail-proof fudge.
- It is better to undercook fudge slightly as it will continue to cook while it is cooling.
- Be sure to use a high-quality pure vanilla extract with no corn syrup or water added for better tasting results.
