About Candies, fudge, vanilla, prepared-from-recipe
Fudge is a soft, dense, melt-in-your-mouth confection made by cooking sugar, butter, and milk or cream to the soft-ball stage, then beating it as it cools so it sets into a smooth, sliceable candy. The craft is all about controlling the sugar crystals, since gentle beating at just the right temperature is what gives real fudge its signature creamy, fine-grained texture rather than a grainy one. Chocolate is the icon, but fudge takes beautifully to vanilla, peanut butter, maple, and the swirled brown-sugar version known as penuche, often studded with nuts.
It is pure sweet indulgence, high in sugar and calories, meant to be savored in small squares. Quick shortcut recipes skip the candy thermometer by melting chocolate with sweetened condensed milk. Store fudge in an airtight container, where it keeps for a couple of weeks at room temperature and even longer in the refrigerator or freezer.
