It's Time For Fudge

Fudge is made like fondant. It's some really great sweet ingredients cooked to a soft ball and then cooled to about 110 degrees and then whipped like crazy! This can be a real stress reliever. So when you're life is playing an F# instead of that beautiful C you're used to, make a batch of fudge. It's really easy.


Chocolate Fudge

6 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup corn syrup
3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 lb butter salted

In a 4 quart sauce pan, place the sugar, corn syrup, and heavy cream all together. Cooking on medium heat, and stirring continuously cook the mixture until soft ball stage otherwise known as 240 degrees. Once it's 240 degrees remove from the heat, and add the chocolate and the butter. Wait fifteen minutes. DO NOT STIR. Once the fifteen minutes are up, whip that batch like crazy until it's has a dull sheen to it. At this point, you can add nuts if you like and then pour into a square baking pan to set.

You should feel lots better after expending all that energy whipping the heck out of that fudge and then you should feel even better once you get to eat it after it's set.
