To prevent your fudge from turning out too hard, make sure to cook it to the correct temperature and avoid over-stirring. Also, adding a small amount of corn syrup or marshmallow fluff can help keep the fudge soft and chewy.
The best way to store homemade candy is in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as this can cause the candy to become sticky or develop a grainy texture.
The time for fudge to set can vary depending on the recipe, but on average it takes about 2-4 hours. To speed up the setting process, you can place the fudge in the refrigerator or freezer.
Yes, a candy thermometer is recommended for making fudge as it ensures that the fudge reaches the correct temperature for it to set properly. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can also use the cold water method to test the fudge for the soft ball stage.
To prevent your fudge from sticking to the pan, make sure to line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil before pouring in the fudge mixture. You can also lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray. Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper or foil to lift it out of the pan for easy cutting.
