[102sport]

[TinaLanii]

BOO YOU SUCK OLD LADY

[sry2cute4u]

@TinaLanii just like ur mom

[asti1234598]

sorry whats half and half? im 11

[alexisannquirk]

i think she means half and half of evaporated milk

[snowtoskate]

half cream and half milk buddy :)

[lizardmannnn]

Its a kind of milk If your parents drink coffee you probably have some.

[sassyangelkiwi]

@lizardmannnn Half & Half is equivalent to 'full cream milk'. (same ratio to milk and cream that comes out of the cow before its separated into homogenized, trim, skim etc etc). The 'LABELING' "Half and Half" is only available in USA, so anyone outside of the states won't know what half and half is.

[lizardmannnn]

@sassyangelkiwi Hm, Interesting. Thanks for the reply!

[FudgyBar]

Yeah? Well im 9! lol

[losyl4ever]

whats half and half god damn it!!!!

[Ainominoko]

Half cream and half milk

[escanoidmidori]

i love it!!!!!

[pophess11]

Have made it three times now. Alwayz a hit. Thanks a billion.

[pophess11]

Looks delicious.. despite what others have to say.. pity u no longer create new ones. Very well n eleganntly presented. Thanks Dyann.

[HKichen]

Uh... That's is white chocolate. She used brown chocolate.

It is no wonder ur fudge sucks.

Like, duh!

[Vivalarachie]

White chocolate isn't chocolate. You didn't follow the recipe, so it makes perfect sense that it didn't turn out. That's not Dyann's fault, it's yours. Try again.

[VentolinFreak]

What exactly IS half-and-half? Nice recipe, btw

[XBakaBeccaX]

1/2 milk 1/2 cream

[fakhranwer]

Looks so delicious! Very nice recipe!

[MrSaladDressingCom]

I appreciate the helpful hints. A candy thermometer is so necessary when making things like this. Nice professional opening, BTW.

[IHateSchool57]

lol! you can't make fudge!

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

can you put tasteless poison in this recipe?

[mimi2696]

lol haha what the heck!!!!

[lilbeatch]

of course, you can add anything you like, give it your own special touch lol who you planning to poison?

[natechan]

seems like a lot of work to poison someone, you must really love them!

[fatdanios]

Be careful testing the hot sugar to see if it's melted! I burned the hell out of my finger doing that when I was a kid! Dip a spoon and let it cool before doing the finger-rub.

[mimi2696]

oh my goodness it looks so good,I hope I can make that

[mimi2696]

do you have to have a candy thermometer to make fudge?

[RabidIceWeasel]

Unfortunately, yes.

[fatdanios]

I have a different recipe that is also quite good. It's easy, everyone loves it and you don't need a candy thermometer! (I may try this sometime to compare!:)

[krukka]

I really like your videos - just discovered them so I think it´s kind of sad that you´re not doing them anymore! :(

[xxitsmexxii]

plz tell us y u stop we dont care how long it is plz!!! plz plz plz

[jossp1]

why no more postings. this is sad

[DyannBakes]

I agree...but some things can't be helped. :(

[54spiritedwill54]

Good video!

[jamaboy44]

Use a candy thermometer! Don't waste time with the soft ball crap. This is pretty much like the Betty Crocker recipe from the 60s.

[rabbitsrock07]

Ah, yes, fudge can bend our wills. XD Looks delicious.

[DyannBakes]

It's good stuff, but personally, ice cream is my weakness!

[CheezyBoi536]

why have you stopped making these videos, theyre so good! :D

[DyannBakes]

It is a long story...but thanks for watching and the kind words :)

[GordonWManson]

Whats the story? I like these videos!!! :o

[DyannBakes]

Trust me...long and boring! I miss making the videos too!

[respectbluder]

so y dont u make more vids

[fawz23]

Hi Dyann!

I have an inquiry. Would it make any difference if I cook/melt sugar first or butter first??

[fujick0]

Hi Dyann, could you make a video on how to bake butterscotch brownies & oatmeal cookies, please. :) Thanks!

[DyannBakes]

we are not really making videos anymore, but I would be happy to pass along recipes if you like and continue to answer any questions...

[theperson11]

if the thermometer's there and u walk away from the stove, who's gonna monitor it?!

[DyannBakes]

you don't have to watch the themometer every moment. It is clipped to the side of the pot and not walk to far away from the stove

[RhythmOfLogic]

This recipe looks super delicious!  Hopefully, I'll be able to try it sometime...thanks, Dyann! :)

[AK4tsevEn]

Very nice kitchen, :)

[wripplewrapple]

whats half and half?

[ahzaz]

half and half = half cream half milk

not 100% sure, just what i remember

[ahzaz]

half and half = half cream half milk

not 100% sure, just what i remember

[wripplewrapple]

thanks!

[wripplewrapple]

thanks!

[mimi2696]

its coffee cream you can find it in the dairy ile

[BadSentenceStructure]

aisle

[mimi2696]

huh

[breezeldn]

you make it sound like a chemistry class Dyann. Thermometer, time and patience ...It wasnt "really easy".

[DyannBakes]

Bakin is ALL about Chemistry! Accept that and it will be easy! :)

[Sanisgillon]

But IS there any alternative to corn syrup. I live in the UK (west midlands) and I just can't get hold of the stuff. Either that or does anyone know of somewhere to get it over here? Even those massive Tesco superstores don't have it.

[DyannBakes]

Hi,

Do you have golden syrup? That can be used in it's place.

[Sanisgillon]

Ooh, golden syrup is perfect ^_^ I am never without it. And I suppose the flavour would be more... golden syrupy. I love the taste, I can eat it out of the tin...

[thundergods]

Why the corn syrup? It's such a cheap additive... Can it be skipped altogether or substituted with something healthier? Thanks!

[econ0003]

It is to help keep the fudge from crystallizing. Some people use marshmallows instead. They are mostly corn syrup also.

[DyannBakes]

Thanks econ003, you are absoloutely right. It has nothing to do with economics, and corn syrup being an inexpensive ingredient. There is a chemical reaction that happens that keeps the sugar from crystalizing and keeps things smooth. Fudge may not be the healthiest thing, but most candy isn't! :)

[DyannBakes]

Half and half is an equal mixture of heavy cream and whole milk. 1 cup of half and half is 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of milk.

[fairiesinparis]

What is half and half? I never heard about it here in France.

[aLySaSpIvAk1]

mmmmmmm FUDGE

[rainwalker36]

I make my fudge much differently than you do. I will try this one. Always thought mine tasted great. Fun watching you do it. Rayne

[DyannBakes]

Tell us how you make it!

[nishi39]

Good video!

Though there is no shop that sells fudge in my country (-_-)

[dumb0dumb]

hey dyann... i love all ur recipies!!

since i was 3 i always watched cooking and baking shows, i'm now 20 and i want to achieve my dream...i simply love cooking and baking and watching ur videos encouraged me...BIGTIME!...i'd love to see u make fondant from scratch...the thing that they decorate and cover the cakes with...its called fondant, right?

[DyannBakes]

Hey..so happy to hear you are encouraged and looking to acheive your dreams! Yes, fondant is used to cover cakes, and honestly, usually tastes pretty bad. You are not the first to request this, so we will definetly do a show on it!

[RoCHeL23]

Where could I get a candy thermometer?

[DyannBakes]

Any specialty cooking store (williams sonoma), major department stores (macys, craftstores (michaels)

[LSPmusicvideos]

wat is a oleo ester?

[DyannBakes]

I'm sorry, but I don't know. Are you spelling it correctly? Can anyone out there help answer this question?

[xxlamaxx]

how do i make homemade chocolate bars?

[DyannBakes]

Truly making chocolate is a very complicated process. Do you mean buying a mold and making candy that way?

[xxlamaxx]

ok this is awsome but can i ask u something? if i put halfn half, sugar and heat it for 5 to 10 minutes then add chocolate and add a pinch of salt and stir would it be like liquid fudge?

[DyannBakes]

Cant say. If you are looking for a fudge sauce recipe, let me know, and I will get it to you.

[xxlamaxx]

thanks for your help but no thanks. I dont want a fudge sauce recipe

[DyannBakes]

you can try using the fudge as a sauce, but i really don't think it is going to work

[hoodzNglovez]

shit im hungry would u marry me dyann? lol *giggles*

[DyannBakes]

Aren't you funny...think you're a bit young for me ;)

[hoodzNglovez]

age doesnt matter tha love and passion is tha important fing innit? :)

[DyannBakes]

You are funn!

[DyannBakes]

So make it yourself. You'll be a star!  Where are you from?

[yutuubfreak]

you should have a show on the food network.

I can thinks of ten food network chefs your better than.

good luck

[DyannBakes]

Thanks! They contacted me in the summer, but nothing since then! :(

[ogirl500]

i love your videos, your recipes are great and your so professional, you should be on the food network or something! also, i've never had fudge :( it sounds and looks so good..

[DyannBakes]

Thanks ogirl500! Go get some fudge...you'll love it!

[DyannBakes]

I don't think parchment is a good substitue. Buy a randomly sized piece of marble, or go to a tile store and buy a "sample" piece of tile (they may even give it to you free of charge...so ask!). I do have a recipe for divinity, so please drop me a note on the website, and then i can forward it to you (dyannbakes dot com)

[braddoskas]

I really appreciate your detail in teaching, thank you so much! I do not have a marble slab but will purchase one. What size should I request? Would parchment paper work in place of foil?

I was wondering if you have a divinity fudge recipe that you share?

Thanks from NB Canada

[naedyeo]

k,thanks anywhere...

[yeoleu]

so can i just mix half heavy cream and half whole milk in order to replace half and half?

[DyannBakes]

yup...equal parts of whole milk and heavy cream=half-n-half.

Let me know how you do, k?

[DyannBakes]

Half and half is a mixture of half heavy cream and half whole milk. I know half and half can be difficult to find...so can this work?

[yeoleu]

can we use anything other than 'half n half'?

[DyannBakes]

Hi videowatcher312,

Give it a try and let me know how it comes out! Always love to hear!

[videowatcher312]

wow im hungry now lol thx dyann now i no how 2 make fudge cool thx

[DyannBakes]

[nagaokarowena]

[DelfinaYoung]

Dyann, thank you so much to let us know about your recipies, I wish you can put more recipies please. I want to learn more. THANK YOU, YOU ARE WONDERFUL.

[DyannBakes]

Aren't YOU wonderful! Thank you for your kind words. Please let me know what sorts of recipes and videos you would like to see. We LOVE hearing from you and what you want!

[DyannBakes]

Nice to hear from you again! Glad you're becoming famous!

[sohof2o]

Great Great WOrk!I made already those chocolate treasures!Thank you for making me the famous person in my curcle for the best cooker!THANK YOU

best wishes

[ecstatic1]

I would use another bench scraper on the other side and pick up the fudge!!!!!!!!!

[cookingfreak13]

quick and easy,you always find the best ways to make cooking fun!

[fjaskolka]

I think I would have used a rubber spatula to help transfer it to the pan, but your way looks more like finger licking fun :) I'm going to try this recipe. Thanks! mmmmm chocolate.

[watermelon165]

where can you buy the chocolaye, I really want to make it?

[fjaskolka]

You can find unsweetened chocolate and any grocery store in the baking aisle. Okay, does anyone remember as a kid finding Mom's unsweetened chocolate in the kitchen cabinet and tasting it? yuck...without the sugar. LOL

[DyannBakes]

YES!! It's an experience that stays with you for-EVER! Lol

[sh97]

Mmmm. I love to make fudge in addition to cookies for holiday gift-giving. It's so much easier than people think. You just need that handy dandy candy thermometer. Mine costed me about $12.00 at Target.

[DyannBakes]

You are absolutely right! Glad you were able to find the handy dandy candy thermometer!

Thanks for watching!
