On my quest to find great home-made fudge, I found another
recipe I wanted to try. This time I had help from Hannah, my soon to be Sister
in law. We rummaged around the baking cupboards and put together five flavour
combinations – dark chocolate and pistachio, marshmallow and crunchie, cranberry
and macadamia, maple pecan and peanut butter.
Once the flavours were decided we
got on with making the basic fudge. It took a while for the mix to reach the
correct temperature on the sugar thermometer but when it finally got there we
divided the mix into separate bowls with the various additions and poured into
mini traybake foils. After a couple hours of cooling time we eagerly went to
check out our results. We cut up the different fudge bars and demolished our
samples. The flavour was excellent but there seemed to be a downside. The fudge
was very soft; I think this was down to under beating the mixture. I will definitely
make this recipe again, just to perfect it, you know?!
