Why You’ll Love Fudge
There are a number of ways to make fudge, some of which get a little complicated, involving a candy thermometer and lots of whipping and stirring. But, as you’ll see in this collection, there are easy options too. Some involve sweetenend condensed milk, other include marshmallow fluff, but they all turn out just as wonderful as the more involved recipes and methods.
And the varieties are endless, no matter what you care craving. You can make it totally smooth or add mix-ins or toppings with chunks, candies, cookies, nuts, and more. While chocolate may be classic, there are no limits to the flavor options!
Types of Fudge
- Chocolate Fudge: the most classic way to make fudge, and the ultimate versions for serious choclate lovers. They can be made with everything from milk to semisweet to dark chocolate.
- White Chocolate Fudge: technically white chocolate isn’t chocolate at all, but it still produces a creamy candy, only with warm vanilla flavor. It also can be the base for other flavors.
- Other Fudge Flavors: Speaking of flavoring your fudge, start with that white chocolate and flavor it with lemon, maple, peanut butter, and more.
- Swirled and Layered Fudge: Because two kinds of fudge are better than one, these fudge recipes have two flavors layered or swirled, and even more yummy mix-ins and toppings.
Storing Fudge
While you should take a look at each individual recipe, as the specific ingredients may affect the storage instructions, most fudge can be kept in a sealed container at room temperature for up to a week. You can refrigerate it for a couple of weeks, or freeze it for up to two months if you want to make it in advance.
