CHOCOLATE FUDGE

December 16, 2012 By Manu 13 Comments

Chocolate Fudge

Who doesn’t like chocolate??  Well… I know a couple of people who are not crazy about it, but really… not many, right?  When it comes to home-made Christmas gifts, chocolate never fails and I try to always include something chocolatey in my little hampers.  This year I made my favourite fudge!  I made it for the first time many years ago, and when I say many, I mean “pre-Internet-time-many”!  I got this great book on chocolate as a Christmas gift and this was the first thing I made!  I still haven’t found a better recipe for fudge as of today!  It is so easy to make, it literally takes 10 minutes, and it tastes delicious: smooth, silky, chocolatey, sweet (but not overly)… perfection!  When it sets, cut it into cubes and store it in an air-tight container for up to 1 month (but it won’t last that long)!

    Can you make this with white chocolate instead of dark? The recipe works with semi sweet and milk chocolate mixes as well, but I wondered about the white version?

      You can, but the final result will be a bit sweeter as milk chocolate is sweeter than dark chocolate. 🙂
