OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.

FUDGE-STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

• Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer on low, add eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition. Beat in vanilla until just combined. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
• Cover cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.

• Using a 1-ounce (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion 1 scoop of chilled cookie dough, and place in the palm of a floured hand. Using a floured thumb, gently create a cavity in the center of the cookie dough. Place 1 frozen fudge ball in center cavity; scoop an additional cookie dough portion, and place on top of fudge ball, wrapping excess dough around fudge ball and rolling in hands to seal.
• Place on a prepared baking sheet; repeat process with remaining dough and fudge balls, placing 4 inches apart on prepared baking sheets (6 per sheet).
• Refrigerate, uncovered, until firm, at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Before beginning get everything ready. This is a time sensitive recipe.
• Grease or line with alfoil a cake pan or deep biscuit tray for the finished product to set inches.
• Clear the sink and get a hand-beater ready.
• It really starts here:.
• =====================.
• Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan and place over a low-medium heat. Stir until boiling.
• Rolling boil for 6 minutes - reduce heat to ensure it doesn't boil over, but is still at a rolling boil.
• Take off heat and place saucepan in sink (the lower height helps).
• Beat until it starts to thicken - a hand beater helps here as you can feel it thickening. This fudge goes from thickening to too far very quickly. The more beating it gets the better it is.
• Pour or scoop the almost set fudge into the tray.
• When set, cut into squares. A hot knife helps.
• Options:.
• =====================.
• Push nuts into almost set fudge.
• Add a flavouring before beating.
• Cheating:.
• =====================.
• If hand-beating, you can add a little water to the bottom of the sink to help the saucepan cool - the fudge thickens quicker - but isn't quite as good.
• Use an electric hand mixer to make the process painless - but watch the thickening.
