You Just Have To Love 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.

Previous recipe was made without condensed milk, but most recipes you will find use condensed milk, sweetened or unsweetened. One can condensed milk goes with three cups of chocolate chips, and this makes this basic recipe. You can simply melt these ingredients together in the microwave, and that's it. Now you can add a few spoons of peanut butter in, with some chopped peanuts as well, if you like, and spread the mixture into the pan. Leave it in the fridge until hard enough for serving.

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.

It's quite easy to make a caramel, and it will make your fudge even more interesting. So, caramelize two cups sugar o low heat, and add one can condensed milk. Combine with three cups melted chocolate of your choice. This basic mixture is really tasty, and you may add vanilla, different nuts or even chopped dried fruits, to make it even better.

One can condensed milk should be enough for three cups of chocolate chips. Although, there is a slight difference between dark, milk and white choco chips, and your fudge might be slightly harder when using for example darker chips. In any case, you can simply melt milk and chips in your microwave to make perfectly tasty fudge, and then add other ingredients of your choice.

When you want to play with colors, simply use white chocolate instead of dark. This way you can make it all green, for example, or red, blue or yellow. For Saint Patrick's Day, add mint extract or pistachios, and some food color if you want more intense nuances. Cherry liqueur will make it all nicely red, and it's easy to add a few dried cherries as well, nicely chopped.

If you like spicy and unusual desserts, make basic fudge mixture using dark choco chips and condensed milk, and spice it up with chili powder. A little bit of salt will make it all even tastier. Use your imagination and create wonderful, really satisfying desserts everyone will enjoy in.
