@TheBunkitty It provides much more control during the final phase of crystallization. As soon as sugar crystals are introduced or agitated it begins a runaway reaction causing large sugar crystals to form and therefore makes the fudge turn out to be grainy and not very smooth.
@Spinze1011 exactly this is waaayyyy so complicated she made it so .. huff there are some choices of video i've seen much easier way million time better hehehe peace out peeps
"But if you didn't learn it from your mom...." Why "mom"? Did you know that many fathers cook? Did you know that not all mothers cook? Did you know that other caretakers and relatives cook? So, people can get their recipes from them, too.
I tried the recipe but found that it got really thick while beating - I'd only been beating a few minutes. I used the instructions; followed them closely / /// Not sure what I did wrong??? Any ideas??
HI Again! Thanks for responding to my question, great to know that cream of tartar may be a good alternative to the corn syrup in this recipe. Thanks!
Hi! This recipe looked awesome, but I am allergic to corn syrup. This is a serious allergy that many people have and do not even know about (I had lengthy tests with a naturopath). Would brown rice syrup work? If not, what alternative?
Everyone's complaining about how often she said 'sugar crystals', but that's because it's important! I found this video after 5 failed attempts at making fudge where my results were always too grainy, regardless of whether or not I used corn syrup. If you think the repetition is driving you mad, try spending a couple of hours making fudge then not being able to eat it!
@tibzy4eva786 hiya + thanks 4 the info! thaank goodness there 's a Brit on YT that can translate the american measuring units and cooking definitions into the ones we know and understand right!! cheers!
@97FunkyGirl Heavy Cream is aka Manufacturing Cream . its a thicker milk used in hundreds of recipes. its what whip cream is primarily made out of. u can find it near the milk in the grocery store
Jeez how many times does she need to keep mentioning "sugar crystals" that made me lose interest in watching this video... = ='' it's called being repetitive...
The expensive stuff called fudge in the bakery or gourmet candy shop is not made with marshmallows. Sugar crystals are what makes it grainy in texture when too big she emphasizes it because most people don't know about it. Its common in candy making and toffees. BTW great videos when I'm looking on how to do something from the ancient do it from scratch method. Lol
Last time I tried this I overcooked it and a hard black substance was fused to the bottom of the pan. I'ts like obsidian. It's not moving I could shoot it with a 50 cal rifle and it wouldn't dent it. I had to throw away a Revere Ware pan! Fuuuuuuuck
Ok, so it's admittedly hard to get through this video without laughing, but the recipe and technique is worth it. If you're looking for a super creamy fudge recipe, I highly recommend this one. It's perfect every time.
i think she lied when she taste the fudge, she tooked a litte part and said it immediatly thats good, normaly human take a bite, chew it and than give an answer but i must say it sugar crystal sugar crystal sugar crystal xD
Does she know that putting in those 3tbsp of corn syrup stops the sugar crystals from forming all together? Dextrose and sucrose are two very different sugars that when put together, stop both from crystallizing not to early...but at all.
calm the eff down, its a kitchen, not a nasa lab. im sure she washed her hands.
i hate when upiddy people freak out just cuz someone tucked a piece of hair behind thier ear while making something. YOU WILL EFFIN LIVE YOU GERMAPHOBES!
Do you have to add the corn syrup??
