Well I've attempted to make fudge, again. The first time I made fudge it turned out to be very grainy and it doesn't really set well (my mom reheated the fudge, and it hardened and became butterscotch candy that can rival Werther's Original - except it didn't have a nice shape. Heh).
Let me be honest. I've never, for the life of me, eaten a fudge, so I don't really know how does it supposed to look like, the taste, the texture. From the reading I've done (bagusnye buat research sebelum memasak. Kenapa tak buat research untuk tesis anda cik ayaq? Shut up.), it is supposed to have firm, slightly crumbly texture.
Screw that. I will still eat up whatever I've cooked, no matter what the texture's like. :P
I took the recipe from
here, but instead of vanilla, I dumped in leftover cooking chocolate from Raya Puasa. Also, I only used one cup of sugar instead of two, because I don't like super duper sweet confection. Brr.
I need to beat the fudge until it lost its gloss, but I beat it halfway (because I got lazy and I'm stupid. Why lah I didn't use the electric mixer?). What I get instead of fudge is nougat-fudge-ish. Still good.
Will definitely try to do it again. Who knows, maybe after umpteenth time trying, I will finally make fudge?
On the left is the so-called 'fudge', and on the right I rolled it with Milo, and I call it Milo truffle fudge. Hahaha.
