Instructions:
-
Melt Butter: Begin by melting the butter in a pan, preferably 8 x 8 inches in size, over low heat.
-
Add Ingredients: Once the butter has melted, add in the sugar, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, and cream. Stir gently until the chocolate melts and the ingredients are well combined.
-
Boil: Increase the heat to medium and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil. It’s important not to stir at this stage. Let it boil until it reaches a temperature of 238 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball.
-
Remove from Heat: Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the pan from the heat source.
-
Cool: Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it reaches a temperature that is safe to handle.
-
Add Flavoring: Once cooled, add in the vanilla extract or any other flavoring of your choice. Stir well to incorporate.
-
Beat: Using a wooden spoon, beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick and smooth.
-
Pour into Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into a buttered pan, spreading it out evenly to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
-
Mark into Squares: While the fudge is still warm, use a knife to mark it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
-
Let it Set: Allow the fudge to cool completely and set before cutting it into individual pieces.
-
Serve: Once set, carefully cut the fudge along the marked lines into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Chef’s Tips:
- For best results, use high-quality chocolate and fresh ingredients.
- Be careful when boiling the mixture, as hot sugar can cause severe burns.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the fudge mixture before pouring it into the pan.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
