CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Rich fattening chocolate fudge

This recipe makes fudge. Not fudge brownies, just fudge. I'm not sure what else to say about it.

Ingredients

(Makes 1 8-inch pan)

Procedure

  1. Combine sugar, condensed milk, butter, salt, chocolate, and corn syrup in a HEAVY 3-quart saucepan. Heat slowly.
  2. Stir until everything is melted. When the chocolate is melted thoroughly, beat with electric mixer (I ain't proud!) until smooth.
  3. Let cook to halfway between soft and medium ball stage (use candy thermometer if available)
  4. Let cool until barely touchable. (due to heat)
  5. Stir in chopped walnuts, vanilla, and rum. Beat the mixture until it starts to set.
  6. When it starts to set, get it into an 8-inch square pan. (buttered, of course) If you wait to do this, you will eat it out of the saucepan.

Notes

This is guaranteed to cause obesity if over-indulged in.

Rating


Difficulty: Moderate to hard. Melted chocolate is tricky, and the timing is fairly important.
Time: about an hour.
Precision: Measurement important for some ingredients.
