Chocolate Fudge with Nuts
There are versions of fudge recipes from so many places on the planet..did you realise?
Essentially 'fudge' is a candy or sweet, made using milk, butter, sugar and flavourings that are cooked to soft ball stage and then beaten to aerate and increase volume as well as create a creamy texture....UNLESS, you are making Scottish Tablet in which case you are not beating it, but rather waiting for it to crystallise resulting in a very different, gritty texture which I normally associate with bad fudge but the Scots love it. There is penuche, (fudge made with brown sugar) from the USA plus every other flavour they have invented over the years, Burfi or Barfi from India, South African fudge is different again in that you make a sugar syrup first then add the milk and everything else, it has way less butter in that recipe and also has a sort of slightly gritty texture.
Chocolate fudge to be honest is not authentically fudge, but hey, no one is arguing about the name as they down another piece. You try eating just one piece...dare you!
