Then she would eat it Jen  ;D

This friend is strange  :D she doesn't like chocolate, so its safe at her house. I have left chocolate there before as I don't have any will power what so ever when it comes to chocolate.

Johnro thanks for the advise, will remember next time, and keep a closer eye on it.

I didn't read the recipe properly and added the vanilla at the start - is that going to ruin it?

Wonder I have added vanilla essence before it was due to many recipes and never noticed any difference.  Robyn will answer this one though, she is the Fudge Queen  ;)

Sorry Wonder I actually answered this query immediately but forgot to click post - as Judy said adding the vanilla at any stage does not seem to affect the outcome - unless of course the fudge or cake/cookie is cooked - ha ha

Unfortunately I think my old thermometer isn't working. I added the extra time and it still wasn't at the right temp but thought I should mix it anyway. I now have a overlooked very hard slab of sugary fudge  ??? Think I will try the cookies and cream fudge tonight and see how I go.

I tried to make this recipe today. I thought I had it perfect; got it to butterball temp etc. The consistency was beautiful and thick. It set all sugary though and what was dissolved sugar crystallized again so eating it is like crunching on a mouthful of sugar.

Where have I gone wrong?

I just made another batch and this one wont set even though it went to butter ball.

I throw my hands in the air and give up I think!!

Made this  today.

Thermometer said not soft ball, but set in glass water so beat and poured.

Cut into squares before cold, will report later on family verdict.

Little piece I sneaked excellent!

I have just made this and added 75 g sour cherries and 50g flaked almonds.

Hope it is not sugary, the last batch was grainy.
I did add cream of tartar.

Fingers crossed.

BekLE have you tried the Cookies & Cream Fudge, that one worked better for me.
