    This looks good, but, when you were talking about the fudge being shiny or matte, I really feel like you should have shown a close up of the fudge, showing exactly what you meant. I think that would've been really helpful for some people. Like, if you had done a close up of the fudge on your spoon, showing the difference between the shiny fudge and the matte fudge, it would have been a lot better, and taken some of the guess work out of making it ourselves. Other than that, it was a good video 👍

    Just a quick note ... the temperatures that were given for calibration are at sea level. The boiling point of water goes down by about 0.9F (.5C) for every 500 feet. There are several charts online that can be used to adjust for it, search for 'what temperature does water boil at different altitudes'.

      @@aareavis No, you really cannot leave out the corn syrup; it's the entire reason the texture comes out perfectly. I made it as well and used a 70% chocolate and the finished product does come out very sweet. I have however seen a very similar recipe where unsweetened chocolate was used (as well as vanilla extract and salt, which both bring out the chocolate notes).

      I would think you could use cane sugar syrup. Worth a try. Bear in mind, there is a difference between corn syrup like Karo’s and high fructose corn syrup that is problematic. One is simply the natural(ish) sugars from the corn seed, the other is chemical soup

  • @zwithgol
    @zwithgol 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Can you half the amount of sugar or at least cut it some without compromising texture and structure? I've never had a fudge that was actually good because it was waaaaay too sweet for me. It is completely inedible. But I know sugar does have functions other than just sweetening things So I am always cautious about using less sugar.

    • @aneubeck4053
      @aneubeck4053 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ok this is old but I’ll answer for posterity. This is very difficult. You’ll get a similar problem if you try to make a confectioners sugar frosting that’s light and fluffy but not disgustingly sweet. I can’t do it. The magic of the fudge is it’s fine texture which is formed by solidifying the sugar into small crystals. Without all of the sugar your fudge is just a really strong chocolate milk or a really milky piece of wet chocolate.

    • @caroledwards9381
      @caroledwards9381 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cheater Fudge.

    All of the above are designed to help you cheat and keep the sugar crystallization tiny in the end product, but without the work.
    You can taste the work.... well, specifically, you can taste the difference in non-Cheater Fudge because it doesn't use those ingredients, it instead uses care and work to ensure a silky fudge.
