Notes

  • Die Fudge-Masse sollte beim Kochen nicht gerührt werden, um eine glatte Textur zu gewährleisten.
  • Für eine cremigere Konsistenz kann die Fudge-Masse nach dem Kochen etwas länger abgekühlt werden, bevor sie in die Form gegossen wird.
  • Die Fudge kann mit Nüssen oder Trockenfrüchten verfeinert werden, um zusätzliche Aromen hinzuzufügen.
  • Die Fudge sollte in einem luftdichten Behälter aufbewahrt werden, um ihre Frische zu erhalten.
