No-Fail Chocolate Fudge

The first time I made fudge the traditional way, I had to throw away the pot. My cousin and I were about 12 or 13 years old and were babysitting our little cousin at her place. Our parents were gone to the local ice fishing derby. We thought we’d surprise them with a delicious treat. Instead, they came home to a big mess. Eek.

Fudge can turn from great to bad in a matter of seconds. We didn’t have a candy thermometer so now it doesn’t surprise me that we ended up with a blackened mess. The fudge was more like little lumps of charcoal.

I’ve made fudge again years later and had it turn out ok. Still, I’m always holding my breath because I remember how quickly things can turn for the worst. That’s one reason why I prefer this easy No-Fail Chocolate Fudge recipe. You won’t have to worry about ruining a pan when you make it!

    It’s sweet, chocolatey and melts in your mouth. You really can’t screw it up unless you burn the chocolate on the stove! Alternatively, you could melt everything in the microwave. I prefer the stove since I’ve seized chocolate by cooking it in the microwave. I find the stove top gives you more control. Up to you how you do it, though!

      “You won’t have to worry about ruining a pan when you make it!” sounds good to me. I did make tablet in the spring a Scottish type of fudge. Had a candy thermometer too, I didn’t realise it would bubble up so much, my pan was then too small and I managed to burn my hand with the bubbling fudge. I forgot to add the vanilla too, fortunately it didn’t burn and did still taste quite good. Not dared try to make it again yet though. LOL

    2. The chocolate fudge looks so delicious! I haven’t made fudge in such a long time but this looks tempting. Thanks for sharing this recipe. 🙂
