Jo’s Fabulous Fudge

"If you like a smooth creamy luxurious fudge, not at all sugary or hard, and one that is easy to cut into portions without crumbling, then this is the one. Definitely not part of a daily diet. Make for special occasions only."

directions

  • Spray and line with non-stick baking paper, a 20 x 30 cm, quite deep (at least 4 cm) tin, or 2 smaller tins.
  • Place all ingredients, except the chocolate and vanilla, in a large heavy based saucepan and stir over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and boil gently until it becomes very thick and changes colour to a dark caramel brown paper shade – about 6 minutes, to the soft ball stage, 116°C on a sugar thermometer. Stir often to prevent it catching on the bottom – I find a silicon spatula the best gadget to stir with. Remove from heat and stand until the bubbles subside. Stir in the chocolate and vanilla until melted and smooth.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Cool to room temperature (about 3 hours) then refrigerate until firm. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 weeks – if you’re lucky.

  1. I didn't have white chocolate so used dark chocolate, which was too intense. Next time I will use less dark chocolate or try the white chocolate. I didn't know what was meant by "sugar syrup" so I used corn syrup, a staple of most fudge recipes.
     
  2. There is absolutely no way a batch of fudge that tastes this good will last 6 weeks (or even 2!), but that's not what's important here! What is, is that THIS FUDGE IS GREAT TASTING, so easy to make AND it calls for golden syrup, which I happen to have (thanks to a recent swap partner of mine)! This fudge was made for a group I'm hosting this evening, & I expect most all of it to be gone before the evening is over! Thanks for a great keeper recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a self taught cook who now runs my own boutique catering business. We try to make everything from scratch, use no additives, preservatives, colours, flavourings or any ingredients that are 'numbers'... We use as much organic ingredients as we can and only use organic and free range meats, poutry and eggs. My husband only eats chicken and vegetarian so I am always trying to come up with new exciting and reasonably healthy options for him. I have a baby girl and try hard to get pleasurable cookiing time in where I can around her and running my busy business!
