Nicola H Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Not sure what you did wrong Clare but this is the recipe i use and it always works................Good luck... Fudge Makes: 450g Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus cooling Ingredients 350g granulated sugar 150ml milk 50ml cream 50g butter 1 tbsp cocoa powder 25g ready-made fondant icing Instructions Put all the ingredients, except the fondant, in a large pan. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for 5-6 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 116°C on a sugar thermometer (soft ball stage), stirring continuously. Put the fondant icing into a heatproof bowl and pour the hot sugar mixture over it. Cool a little, then beat vigorously until the icing is completely incorporated and the fudge starts to thicken. Pour into a small, shallow dish and leave to cool. Cut into pieces when cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Oh dear - I love fudge Clare, but can never make it either. I just bought some this weekend from the Fosse Way honey man at the Stratford farmers' market - it's divine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
