Homemade Fudge



I made a double batch of Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge. 


Most of the fudge got boxed up to send to family back east.  

But I did keep out a few pieces for Moe and I.


Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge
=================
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1/2 cup of butter
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of white Corn Syrup
6 to 8 ounces Callebaut White Chocolate
Walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla

Add the two sugars, butter, cream, corn syrup and salt into a sauce pan. Place over medium heat.  Stir while bringing to a boil.  Lower the heat and continue to stir slowly while the mixture cooks.   After about
7 minutes, test by pouring a small amount into some cold water. You want it to form a soft ball. (about 235°F to 238°F on a candy thermometer) When it reaches soft ball stage, remove from the heat, and let rest for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, add the vanilla and the white chocolate and stir until the white chocolate melts.  You will notice the the fudge starts to thicken almost immediately.  Stir another minute or two or until the fudge starts to lose its shine. Quickly add the walnuts and pour into a buttered dish.  TIP:  Toast the Walnuts.

  4. You DO have the knack. The last time I tried making chocolate fudge it was some gnarly little mass that was downright frightful.

  5. I have been looking for a good white choc recipte for awile now as I had lost mine in moving. At Christmas time I usually put chopped red and green cherries and then decorated the top of each to looke like a poinsetta and leaves with the cut up cherries.
    So! I will try it again now that I have the recipe. I am from n.b. and now live in B.c. where we cannot get the maple cream. But, I will now call my family from there and ask them to send some to me to try that one. thanks

  7. Anonymous, there might be other fudge recipes with baking soda, but it isn't anything I'm familiar with. I have made Sponge Toffee which has baking soda as an ingredient.
