How To Make Simple Gourmet Fudge

By Lisa Clark


When it comes to various desserts, the one called fudge is just perfect for any day, but during Christmas holidays, you simply have to have some on your table. It is so easy to prepare, and brings out so much pleasure. There are probably hundreds of tasty combinations, but gourmet fudge with chocolate is something you just cannot make a mistake with.

Basic ingredients are simple, and once you make a few recipes, you can build up from there, and make your own variations, suited to your personal taste. The simplest choco fudge requires just a few ingredients, chocolate chips, butter, sugar and a little bit of water. So, combine one cup of sugar with three tablespoons water and bring it to boil, to make syrup. Melt three cups chocolate chips in this syrup, on very low heat, and simply add half cup butter in. Pour into the pan and wait until cold.

Most recipes include condensed milk. You can use unsweetened version if you like, depending on your taste. The addition of peanut butter will make things even more irresistible. So, combine three cups melted chocolate with one small can condensed milk, add one cup of peanut butter and spread it into the pan, previously lined with foil or parchment paper. Leave the mixture in the fridge until cold and hard.

You simply cannot go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter, because they really love each other. Crushed or chopped peanuts will be a nice addition, and another thing you can do is to sprinkle peanuts, or even different choco chips on, once you pour this mixture into the pan. It will make it all even tastier, and it will look nice as well.

It's quite easy to make a caramel, and it will make your fudge even more interesting. So, caramelize two cups sugar o low heat, and add one can condensed milk. Combine with three cups melted chocolate of your choice. This basic mixture is really tasty, and you may add vanilla, different nuts or even chopped dried fruits, to make it even better.

As it was said before, you will need one can of condensed milk for approximately three cups of choco chips. The easiest thing to do is to melt these ingredients together in your microwave, and make this basic fudge. Now you can make different combinations, or simply pour it into your lined pan as it is. You could also pour different layers on, and sprinkle it all with decorative chocolate chips or nuts.

If you use white chocolate instead, you can also play with different colors, for some special occasions. For example, for Saint Patrick's Day, you could make a basic recipe using white chocolate, and add some mint extract. Another idea for making it all green is to use pistachios instead, both in preparing the mixture, and sprinkling them over.

If you like spicy and unusual desserts, make basic fudge mixture using dark choco chips and condensed milk, and spice it up with chili powder. A little bit of salt will make it all even tastier. Use your imagination and create wonderful, really satisfying desserts everyone will enjoy in.
