What is the Secret to Making Fudge?
Making fudge can be tricky, but you can make a delicious batch of creamy fudge with the right technique and ingredients.
Use a candy thermometer; this gadget allows you to monitor the mixture’s temperature as it cooks. It’s also important to cook the mixture at the right temperature. Remember to stir constantly to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot. Lastly, cool the fudge properly to allow the sugar to crystallize and create a creamy texture.
How Far Ahead of Christmas Can You Make Fudge?
You can make fudge up to two weeks in advance of Christmas. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Fudge can be stored for a few weeks to a month, so it’s a great treat to prepare for the busy holiday season. Proper storage is essential to ensure the fudge remains fresh and delicious.
