What do you do when Fudge doesn't Harden?

To soften hard fudge, warm up the fudge in a pan, adding in 1 cup of water, and recook and re-beat your fudge. Take care to heat it to no more than the soft-ball temperature. When beating the fudge, stop beating as soon as your fudge becomes difficult to stir.

Why did my crockpot Fudge not set?

If your fudge didn't set, it probably wasn't heated hot enough. You can put the fudge back on the stove with 1 cup of water and heat until the candy thermometer reads 235 - 245 degrees F.

Why is my slow cooker fudge not setting?

A: Please review the above tips. One of them is most likely the reason your fudge did not set. Double check the amount of chocolate you used. Some recipes say 2 blocks, some say 440g instead but we find that increasing the chocolate to 500g is the sure way to ensure there is enough to set firm.

What can I use if I don't have a candy thermometer?

To check your sugar syrup has reached the correct stage without using a sugar thermometer, place a bowl of very cold water next to the hob. Using a clean spoon, carefully take a little of the syrup and drop it into the bowl of cold water. Leave to cool for a moment then pick up the ball of syrup.

Should I freeze homemade fudge?

Tips for Storing Homemade Fudge If you intend to enjoy your fudge relatively quickly, it's best stored at room temperature short-term. If you plan to keep your fudge for longer, the freezer will be your best bet. Keeping fudge in a cool, dry place free of light is crucial to keeping it fresh.
