First, Im so sorry for the radio silence. I have spent the last few days trying to perfect my new obsession, homemade fudge. Second – forget everything I said about giving up on homemade christmas presents. I know was gonna give them up, but when I realized that homemade fudge was a thing and according to two websites, super easy to make. I figured, why the fudge not?!
Well I’ll tell you why the fudge not – because making fudge is hard. And I’m not just talking about the state my fudge turned out. 1 outta 5 goes turned out ok, ONE OUT OF FIVE and what Im really annoyed about is that I have no idea what I did different. So – sorry to everybody who got ‘hard chewy caramel’ as part of their christmas present. I don’t recommend chewing it. At least they turned out super cute!
If anybody wants to attempt this themselves you can find the recipe here http://lecremedelacrumb.com/2014/09/easy-soft-caramels-no-candy-thermometer-required.html.
I cannot recommend enough how important it will be to stock up on everything you need because unless youre fudging Martha Stewart or Mary Berry, there is no chance in hell you’re gonna get this on your first try. If you do – I hate you.
PS. I lied, I promised I was gonna give up after 5 batches but I had to do one more. Turns out – 6 is the magic number. Be excited friends and family. Be very excited.
Just call me the queen of fudge.
