Was in a charity shop the other day and found a whole book full of recipes for hm fudge and other edible gifts (recipes for Harrods!) Thought I would give it a go for xmas. Haven't started yet.... but I had to first buy ingredients like evaporated milk. Can post the vanilla fudge recipe if anyone is interested. But I would love to hear the fudge recipe that has already been used by Mado if at all poss?

Fudge is delish! My absolute fave is Russian Fudge, it contains condensed milk and is scrummy. Havent made it since I was a kid. I have 2 or 3 recipes in the kitchen somewhere, will dig them out and post when OH get home.

Thekey to making successful fudge is too make sure you boil it until it gets to the "soft ball stage". This takes longer than you expect and the best way to test is to have a glass (clear) of cold water.

When the fudge has been boiling as long as the recipe states stir it with a wooden spoon and then hold the spoon above the glass and let the drips fall into it. Try to watch it from the side. If the drips go flat as they hit the water then its not ready. If the drips form little balls in the water then its done.

Oh, I want some now too................................. :rolleyes:

If I make fudge with 'bits' in,I always add them at the end after it's cooled a bit.Maybe that would help.
You've inspired me now!
It's been ages since I made fudge.
Trouble is it's so moorish.
You need a visit to the gym for every square!(probably the dentist too!)

Oh, I soooooo wish I hadn't read this thread.......I have evaporated milk and condensed milk in the cupboard.

I love fudge with a passion - but then again my dentist has gone private

There again...it IS nearly Xmas, so in the spirit of HM yuletide treats, I'd better practise first. After all, no point making some that isn't quite perfect, is there.

Now, those fudge recipes - have they been posted yet?

You can make fudge

I thought you had to buy it from overpriced pick and mix places :rotfl:

How much does it cost? I absolutely love fudge - it is up there with clocks, telephones, antibiotics, the internet and shortbread in Gizmo's Big List of the Most Important Inventions Ever. :T :T
