Delicious Fudge Recipes. The Best Recipes For Fudge You Will Ever Need.

I remember as a small child in the mountains of Western North Carolina I remember my family going to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock and the one thing that always caught my eye was the fudge shops. I remember we were always getting out of the car and walking around to the different little shops and I would quickly drag my Mom into the Fudge Shop with three carved wooden bears in front of it. Its still there today and its the Three Bears Fudge Shop.

I remember we would walk up to the counter in the fudge shop and a big man dressed in white and a big white chefs hat would offer us samples of the various fudges the little shop produced. We would always get to taste the chocolate, the peanut butter, and the rocky road but my Mom would always buy two pounds of the chocolate fudge and the man behind the counter would always put in a small square of peanut butter and a small square of rocky road to finish out the space in the the white box.

The fudge box would go into a plastic box that was always brought for it and then it would go in the ice chest in the trunk of the car. The fudge went home with us and into the top drawer in the refrigerator. Over the next couple of weeks we would get small pieces of the fudge after dinner or before bed as a snack and before long it was gone until we would make another trip to the mountains six months or a year later and long after I knew there was no more fudge in that drawer I would crave it and want more. And I made myself a promise that one day I would learn how to make fudge and have it as often as I liked.

Some Fudge Tips For Everyone

While there may be a place for low fat or fat free fudge its not in the recipes on this page. When my recipes call for milk I mean whole milk. When I say butter I mean butter not margarine.

I know people will tell you there is no difference between imitation vanilla flavoring and real vanilla flavoring but I say there is. I have been cooking and baking as a Chef and Executive Chef for over thirty years and I have used both imitation and real vanilla flavoring and I say the real vanilla flavoring is the best.

And the last thing is if you are going to be making fudge and other candy you need a candy thermometer. Most fudge recipes will call for cooking your fudge to 238 degrees which is the soft ball stage. If you try to make fudge with out a candy thermometer you will over cook your fudge and it will not turn out right.

You Can Flavor Your Fudge How You Want It.
