How to Make Amazing Fudge
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup milk.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
- Remove from heat. Immediately stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of your choice of optional flavoring (see variations below). Stir well to combine.
- Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until thoroughly incorporated.
- Immediately pour the fudge mixture onto a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
