Make Your Own Gourmet Fudge

By Lisa Clark


When it comes to various desserts, the one called fudge is just perfect for any day, but during Christmas holidays, you simply have to have some on your table. It is so easy to prepare, and brings out so much pleasure. There are probably hundreds of tasty combinations, but gourmet fudge with chocolate is something you just cannot make a mistake with.

There are so many wonderful recipes for this lovely dessert, and some are especially easy to prepare. For example, this one. You will need two or three tablespoons water and a cup of sugar. Simply combine and melt over low heat. Once it becomes a syrup, add three cups chocolate chips and, when it all becomes a smooth mixture, also one half cup of butter. Spread this mixture into the pan and wait until cold. Cut into cubes and enjoy.

Another simple recipe requires one cup sweetened condensed milk, three cups choco chips and one cup peanut butter. That's all that you need. Simply melt your chocolate, combine with condensed milk, add peanut butter and pour this mixture into the pan. It's advisable to put a sheet of baking paper or foil into the pan first. Leave it all in the fridge for several hours and cut.

This basic peanut butter recipe can be combined with added crushed peanuts, for example, and it will also look really nice if you sprinkle the mixture with crushed peanuts while it is still warm. There are numerous recipes that include peanut butter, and with a good reason. It really tastes great in combination with chocolate.

Caramel fudge can be easily prepared as well. Pour two cups sugar into the pan and caramelize it over low heat. Pour one cup condensed milk in and stir. Combine this mixture with three cups dark chocolate, melted. You can use this mixture as it is, or add some butter, peanut butter, nuts, vanilla syrup or anything else you can think of.

Basically, one small can of condensed milk is enough for three cups chocolate chips. You can simply melt them together in your microwave, and then combine this mixture with other ingredients. You could also pour one part of it into a pan, and combine the rest of it with butter and crushed peanuts, and pour this mixture over, to make it all more interesting.

If you use white chocolate instead, you can also play with different colors, for some special occasions. For example, for Saint Patrick's Day, you could make a basic recipe using white chocolate, and add some mint extract. Another idea for making it all green is to use pistachios instead, both in preparing the mixture, and sprinkling them over.

Unsweetened condensed milk and dark chocolate, with a hint of salt and some chili powder make a great combination for people who prefer spicy tastes. This dessert is so easy to prepare that anyone can do it. Once you make this basic mixture, use your imagination to create interesting and even tastier combinations and enjoy.
