i cant watch anymore i am sooooo hungry.......

[kiranrajkeralaboy]

looks exactly like something I like to bring in from afganisthan.

[jawmare]

I used bud butter instead of regular butter...

mmmm

[topei18]

wait...Brownies requires no baking AT ALL???

[Matthewboca]

@topei18 This is fudge, not brownies; however he does have an amazing chocolate brownie as well, just search for it (:

[BluetubeBT]

He said the maximum you can get is one but it actually the minimum and crap do i sound like a nerd saying that????????? 0_O

[whoregasmx]

finally an easy good recipe to make fudge! (:

[scjl109]

I have looked at many other recipes for chocolate fudge and needless to say this was by far the easiest to make and extremely delicious. Thank you so much for posting this here!!!!!!

[UchihaAkarii]

.. I'm hungry. o_o

[ScrewFoxNews]

Measuring in 'cups' is so weird to me. Here in the UK we weigh ingredients.

[AshhBearr]

@ScrewFoxNews It's more accurate that way lol. I prefer using a scale especially when baking.

[shevierom]

John , your a life saver!

[TYLEYPOTTERISME23]

i stir alot of things.its what i do

[TYLEYPOTTERISME23]

i stir alor of things.its what i do

[NarutoUzumaki258]

Is it good to add some mint extract and orange peels?

[asnwords]

can I make it without the marshmallow?



[salmeisterpl]

@asnwords no, the marshmallows are what makes the fudgy texture

[DevilzDontCry]

@salmeisterpl

Oh man.. that means I can't make them. =/

Is there anything I can use as a substitute for the marshmallows?

[SailorPerson]

@asnwords Believe me you WANT the marshmallow version. I did the sweetened condensed milk one and it's a lot harder to do :P Other than the fact that I fail at fudge D':

[asnwords]

@SailorPerson Okay, it's means I must wait my online marshmallow to come before making this recipe LOL

[tjbollman1]

@asnwords It's pretty easy to make your own pan of Marsmallows . Look up Ina Gartens recipe if you need one.

[orlendatube]

wow i cant believe there is a recipe for fudge that is this easy! no stages of sugar or whatnot, no thermometers,,,thank you!

[Thewhitedragonfly]

Just put mine in the frig. wish me luck!! :D

[ciberdark]

Anyone has this recipe in metric system?

[Fiqks1]

@ciberdark search for 'The Metric Kitchen' and click on the first link.

[astignabitch]

can I use cocoa powder instead of real chocolate?

[no2religions]

@astignabitch You'll have to add more butter. Find substitution charts online.

[SailorPerson]

I hope this works! I've been trying to make fudge for a month it's like the hardest thing I've ever made :| I've been attempting it for my friend whom I promise fudge *over a month ago xD* and I want to give it to him before his bday *Dec 18th* so wish me all the luck in the world :D

[CrazyRapzter]

Will you adopt me:-3

You are the best cook i've seen!

[CrazyRapzter]

I don't know what milk that is.

I don't live in USA..

[sladkajes]

@CrazyRapzter ... I'm not from USA but.. that milk is condensed (concentrated) ... in my country this milk is in cans also.... so... just go to your local market and ask for it :)) I'm sure somebody will show it to you :)

[SickBullzz]

@sladkajes Thanks:-) CrazyRapzter here :-)!

[Freezyfy]

can u just use regular milk..?

[xTcIV]

What chocolate chips can i use in this recipe? dont have any idea XD hersheys?

[MAfr3ak]

Chef John, I have a problem. I thought everything was fine, but I'm having difficulty cutting it. I put it in the fridge overnight, hoping to firm it up. It wasn't firm, so I stuck it in the freezer for a while. I checked on it and it still wasn't firm. It's been in the freezer for over twelve hours and it's still very sticky. I doubled the recipe and put it in two containers, one plain, one with sea salt. Any tricks for firm fudge?

[byebye140]

things you can do with plastic wrap these days ><

[123456789robbie]

i made this today, omg so good.

[ciberdark]

How many grams of chocolate chips and large marshmallows are in a cup?

[123456789robbie]

@ciberdark don't worry about it, just break the chocolate into bits, and put it into a cup.

[eoiriseo]

what is evaporated milk?

[starrlicious2]

@eoiriseo It comes in a can at the supermarket. Over in the sugar, flour baking aisle. It's just evaporated milk. Its a white can with blue writing.

[xSuLFaTEx]

@eoiriseo milk that is evaporated

[ciberdark]

Is there a difference in flavor or consistence if I use Condensed Milk?

[Fufudesu]

@ciberdark Condensed milk is way too thick compared to evaporated milk. You have to use evaporated milk for this recipe :o

[ciberdark]

@Fufudesu Thanks 

[zhanus]

@ciberdark Yes, condensed milk is thicker and sweetened.

[malsolv]

I jus licked my knife and cut again.

[PammieChan]

@malsolv

That's kind of disgusting if you're serving it to other people too...

[Elliotjacobs2]

Sounds like John C. Reillly

[97FunkyGirl]

i soooooooo wanna eat some fudge now!

[chaque1508]

Could somebody please tell me what carnation milk is?? Is it available in Australia?

[LalaJemie]

@chaque1508  it is evaporated milk.

There are many kinds of evaporated milk, not just carnation ( which is the brand).

[ciberdark]

@chaque1508 It's evaporated Milk

[WECantThink]

It is IMPORTANT to use Carnation. I used Eagle brand, which is much thicker, and it did NOT work. Very granular. I could barely choke it down, but I did...

[richjasonjones]

Turned it off after heating up the chocolate? I figured it would melt a lot easier if I kept it on. That said, one batch came out great and two came out horrible. I think I added too much butter. I found a recipe from yoyomax12 with sweetened milk that makes fudge much easier (and cheaper) though.

[richjasonjones]

I just made another plain version and it is gooey after about 10 hours in the freezer, how do I solve this problem? i believe it may be from never turning off the heat when mixing in all of the chocolate and mellows. Please help..

[killer6468]

@richjasonjones Would of helped if you turned it off...

[richjasonjones]

I did this with pb mixed in and it will not harden, impossible to cut.

[oudy123]

would normal milk work?

[GammaFoxTBG]

Well, I now know how to make fudge and realize it's very easy to make...

ALL ABOARD THE DIABETES TRAIN!

[W0tanTheGod]

@GammaFoxTBG

:facepalm:

If you had just a tiny bit of knowledge about this welfare-disease(is it a real english term?^^) calles diabetes mellitus type 2, you would know that, while obesity is a risk factor, too much sugar is not- as long as you do not gain too much weight

[GammaFoxTBG]

@W0tanTheGod Yes, because I was being completely serious before, without a hint of sarcasm at all, just as I am now.

[MizRedavni101]

Just did it and turned out FANTASTIC, awesome video!

In all honesty while stirring in the last of the marshmallows I had to put it over low heat for just a couple minutes so they could melt a little more.

[AishiteruChiharu]

I love how he's doing the OPPOSITE of what my home ec teacher told me to do. ;D

[SimplisticSuzi]

@AishiteruChiharu What did he do?

[kingofkingsbc]

DAM i forgot the salt everytime well its done already

[masonrox2547]

I just made this, it was amazing, thanks so much. :D

[merihotto]

what s evaporated milk?

[Nythony]

@merihotto It's like regular milk, just a whole lot less water or so I think

[NeaTheWhiteWolf]

im on diet why did i youtube search on chocolate 0.0

[mersinger989]

Lol

[rsdewd]

just ''give it a few taps'' ? not ''give it the old tappa tappa'' ?

[kiminokami]

@rsdewd Back then, the "tappa tappa" was a new thing.

[rsdewd]

@kiminokami oooh. well i havent been subscriber since the beggining. i subscribed recently.

[rachers2004]

The metric kitchen is great for the uk conversions for this recipie!!!!!

[nickrockz619]

this is what i love about Chef John, he's so clean.

[aDumbGorilla]

And for everyone who asks this question: "John can I use white chocolate chips?" no you can't, white chocolate chips aren't real chocolate and they do not melt well. They become this rubbery oily mess.

[tjbollman1]

@aDumbGorilla I use white Chocolate chip for fudge all the time, BUT I use the cook white chocolate melts that you buy in the better stores or candy shops, JUST LIKE I do for chocolate fudge. They work just like the chocolate ones..and they BOTH taste way better than the chips made for cookies. The stabilizers in those just make everything taste cheapo.

[JessDAmapler]

@aDumbGorilla This happened me to me. Made me hate white chocolate for life. :(

[devilishandlovinit14]

@aDumbGorilla

AMEN!!! White chocolate is a disgrace to the chocolate society. It barely has any cocoa in it. SHAMEFULL.

[UtauSakura59]

@devilishandlovinit14 White chocolate is very delicious though :3

[LuvvinNovember]

let me guess....mac , Imovie?

[TDLakaDavidLover]

CALORIES?

[shukore2008]

but what could you eat this with?

[ClassifiedTop]

"1 - 1/2 cups of sugar." That's a lot of sugar! D8

[ruliruli1]

Chef what is evaporated milk? I need to know!!! Can I replace it whit something else....

I need to know! Please help! Thanks.

[missygirl5612]

@ruliruli1 hey, i can't explain to u what exactly it is but u can buy it in the same kind of cans as the sweetened condensed milk! (at least in USA and Canada)

[xTwistedLovex]

@ruliruli1

It's milk with less water content. As for replacing it with something else, I don't know.

[sacraficialangel7]

@ruliruli1 you can use condensed milk. I think it's almost the same thing...

[LindzeeKeem]

@sacraficialangel7 Condensed milk is not the same thing..

Condensed Milk is VERY Thick while evaporated milk is VERY Thin

[sacraficialangel7]

@LindzeeKeem ok, but it still works for making fudge. I've seen a video of another guy making fudge with condensed milk.

[LindzeeKeem]

@sacraficialangel7 Im not saying you CANT use it but it does make it smooth and thick :D

[LindzeeKeem]

@sacraficialangel7 Im not saying you CANT use it but it does make it smooth and thick :D with it

[woofybabesx]

do you have to use evapourated milk for this or can you just use ordinary milk?

[jackiengx]

how much is a cup in grams?:S:S!!

[Dwergideon]

@jackiengx you can't know. A cup is volume, and grams is mass.

[kimosabesun]

Do this without marshmallows (i am in Greece so...) and you will get a nice chocolate cream!!!!

(added 2cups of chocolate bits and less sugar).

[anirudhkrishnamani]

can i use big marshmallows?

[0badboy0]

@anirudhkrishnamani cut the marshmellows so it makes little ones??

[UchihaOdy]

i can't find any marshmallows! damn!

[DataCollaborate]

<-- Sing: "Who is this man, comes out from the fridge and says?"

Crowd: "FUDGE!"

[austinwang302]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHHHHHH­HHHH

[hawaiti1]

cool commentary as well

[sk8boarder125]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO AWESOME

[treyguy09]

how come mine won't set

[reeghan22]

I'm not sure if it's possible, but for noobs like me :) It might be a good idea to have like, a time laps in the corner, so people can see how long it took to cook and what not. Just a thought maybe :) good fudge though!

[Imogen1885]

Replace half a cup of chocolate chips with half a cup of peanut butter. Delicious.

[dpchid]

Is there anyway I could include coffee liqueur?

[HollyTheFireNinja]

@dpchid Just add some into the pot while it's still hot, some of it is going to evaporate, it's not going to change the consistency of it much. Shouldn't need a lot to be able to taste it.

[omgcowshaveudders]

was that a product placement for carnation? :O

[ChineseAznAnimeFreak]

I love these videos so helpful!

Go foodwishes!!!

[ChineseAznAnimeFreak]

I'm gonna get fat after making this and scarfing it down after =P

[valdezmiguel2]

you should put some drano max in it. and then shoot yourself in the skull.

[firelilly08]

@valdezmiguel2 wow thats a bit harsh dont u think

[valdezmiguel2]

@firelilly08 I think it is merciful if anything. this mincing faggot is making a mockery of fudge and I refuse to stand for his nonsense.

[firelilly08]

@valdezmiguel2 lol everyone has there own fudge recipies though. its ok. its just food its not that serious lol

[2670Hardstyler]

This looks so awesome and delicious. But i have the problem that they dont sell condensed milk in my local grocery stores. Can i make the condensed milk myself or is there an alternative?

Thanks

[kiyoko0369]

i want taste vision

[XDL125]

man, you are a fudge-packer :) btw. very good recipe and video, 5*

[DanielAvilaAGT]

@funfunsun2 So how was it? =^.^=

[Hattie1994]

now thats my kinda recipe :D

[imjusforkix]

i love this recipe

[brawyn777]

yummy looks so good

[JayJayhope]

Nice recipe..but please dont put your Vanilla in that early, it will lose it's flavor. Add it just as you are about the take the pan off the stove. Thanks

[Nythony]

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1-1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups (4 ounces) miniature marshmallows

1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

I got this from the website itself

[MrElitepv]

@Nythony is the evaporated milk

needs to bee sweeted?

[Mokambigai]

@Nythony i love you..:)

[dahlee030176]

@Nythony Thank you very much !!

[picklelovers98]

this stuff is amazing sooo gd

[varina56]

i made the fudge twice!! the first time it was soupy (got a lil crazy with the marshmallows lol) and didnt firm up the way i know it should have... and the second time it was firm and tasted good but was a lil gritty :( i gotta get this thing down!! any suggestions ya'll?

[inept0]

@varina56 You may not have dissolved the sugar all the way. Another possibility is that you got some water in your chocolate causing it to seize. Yet another is that you over heated the mixture. Be careful of these hazards and better luck in the future.

[kinz4]

i think you meant to say "The minium number you can get is 1"

[billynightmare]

@kinz4 i think he ment 1 as in not cutting it = 1

[kinz4]

"i stir a lot of things. It's what i do"

[OhioAngel]

@kinz4 lol  He's so funny!

[xdomg]

OM NOM NOM NOM

[suckithardnfast]

How do you pack your fudge? I like mine nice and tight.

[codyh1998]

@suckithardnfast wow...

[nclwil]

I just watched this video and right after went and bought the ingredients... I added walnuts and put extra marshmellows in the 8x8 before the fudge, this is the 1st time ive made fudge and it turned out awesome! super easy to follow... thank you!!

[hapossai123]

ill try it today

[Hapaoo]

Look very easy!

[simcolafa]

the maxium u get is one ROFL

[ShrivyShrivey]

I followed this recipe exactly, but instead used a maple flavour instead of chocolate, because I like maple fudge, and it was in the fridge over night and it didnt set. What happened? Can someone explain to me why it didnt work?

[neverfearchrisishere]

@ShrivyShrivey temperature is everything with fudge. Theres an important chemical reaction which happens between the sugar and fat which lets it set later.

.

Basically the cooking of the fudge is done entirely between 0:51 and 0:56 .... This is the tricky bit of the recipe and its described very badly here.

.

.

I'd advise finding a recipe that describes this stage in depth as cooking fudge is tricky and your experience isn't uncommon.

[ShrivyShrivey]

@neverfearchrisishere Thanks for the reply, yeah I found out if I dont have a thermometre, then I could just put some of the mixture into cold water and if it turns in a "ball shape" then its done.

[yesmeen1998]

it looks like brownies i hate that

[UkPR0]

carnation milk on its own taste like shit

[prettyinpunk666]

@UkPR0 you're not supposed to drink evaporated milk straight...

[UkPR0]

@prettyinpunk666 no, someone gave it me with tinned peaches...basically I was nearly sick.

[prettyinpunk666]

@UkPR0 I'm feeling a bit sick just imagining that..

[heelrunner]

@UkPR0 Eew... someone actually thought of doing that?! I like tinned peaches with crushed ice and nothing else. Great for the summer. But evaporated milk? Noooo...

[JacobSmithUK]

thanks a billion i am 13 years old and i like to surprise my family so thanks

[Superb281]

Cool! Jellyish fudge!

[ScopedOUT2]

Do you own a restaurant?

[yesmeen1998]

[princescfabregas]

[athensrose13]

[heart0fangel]
