Danish Fudge Recipes

PENUCHE FUDGE

Steps:

• Take a 9-inch (23cm) square pan and lightly grease it or spray with a nonstick baking spray. Use some plastic wrap to line the pan. Sieve the powdered sugar into a bowl.
• Mix brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Stirring continuously, bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring regularly, until a candy thermometer registers 236°F/113°C (or until the fudge reaches the soft ball stage).
• Put the mixture in a heatproof bowl and start beating in the powdered sugar in small amounts. When the mixture is dense and creamy, slowly stir in vanilla and some chopped nuts, if using.
• Pour the fudge into the lined pan and refrigerate for about 20 minutes or until hard. Turn the pan over, peel the plastic off the fudge, and cut it into small squares.

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
• Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
• Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
• Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
• Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.
