I make a LOT of fudge every year – and when I saw this one I knew I had to try it. BUMMER It did not work — I have a very accurate thermometer as well and followed the instructions (at least the ones provided) to the T. It turned into a hard taffy like substance which had to be peeled out of the pan and then never would take the butter in the beating step. it just was a big hunk around the mixing paddle (in a heavy duty mixer). I haven’t decided if I will try it again or not — I would like to know what EXACTLY “simmer a few minutes” is? I did 2 minutes but didn’t wait any longer because even though I had turned it down to low the temp kept climbing to like 250. If I tried again I think I will only cook to 234 and then immediately remove and pour into mixing bowl. Let it sit until it is 110 and then try …maybe….disappointing…

I tried to make this twice and both times, it restulted in a hard, sugared substance that defied anything resembling fudge. The first go-round, my fudge never cooled to 110, so I think I cooked it way too long. The second time I significantly reduced the cook time and it looked better going into the pan, but as it cooled, it solidified. I’m so sad because this looked and sounded so wonderful! Because of that, I am going to try it one more time, but another day. . .

I attemtped to make this tonight with my grandmother. Lets just day I’m more than disappointed. We followed the directions to a T and now there is a bunch of hard red stuff in the bottom of a fabulous pan:( . I know my thermometer is working becuase just before I made Almond Roca and it turned out beautifully.

There is one mitten becuase the system won’t let me rank it with no mittens. Don’t know what the problem was, but I’m not going to try it again.

I made this on Saturday and it was yummy! I love the fact that it makes a small batch. I took it to our Sunday School party yesterday and everyone loved it.

Very easy to make . I didn’t have any gel food coloring but used LOTS of regular food coloring and it turned out fine.
