Triple Choc chunk fudge Method

CHECK OUT the photos below for some examples before you get started

Line a 35 cm long baking dish with silicone baking paper for ease of removing fudge later

Place the cups of sugar, cocoa, milk powder and cream of tartar in a high-sided saucepan

Combine together to make a smooth mix as shown, don't worry about the lumps they add character

Make a slurry just like in the picture with 250ml of your milk or water and mix until smooth.

Over a high heat while stirring brush the sides of pot with EXTRA water, until no sugar crystals remain and dissolves completely stir regularly and bring to boil.

Turn the heat to low and DO NOT stir until the sugar mix reaches SOFT BALL or 112-115 degrees centigrade on a sweets thermometer. This takes 20-35 minutes depending on the amount.

See images... During this time the mix will surge boil at the various cooking stages and may come right to the top of the pot. IF your pot is large enough you won't have to remove it from the heat. Otherwise remove it from the heat until it settles then place back on, to cook more.

Once your mix has reached SOFT BALL or 112-115 degrees centigrade turn off & take off the heat.

Let the now fudge syrup cool JUST a little whilst you pour in the butter or cream & chocolate chunks

YOU NEED to work FAST from here or you'll have a nice fudge pot full of set fudge to hammer out.

Add vanilla then stir until the mix starts to stiffen for approximately 1-3 minutes. IF you still have chunks of chocolate don't worry it's meant to be that way, hence the name.

Quickly transfer the mix to a 35 cm long baking dish spread and smooth.

Allow to cool a few minutes & break apart or cut to your desired size. It is easier & more neat to cut the fudge whilst still warm

To easily release the fudge from the tray. Grab a baking tray place it on top flip the fudge onto it then put your cutting board on it and flip over.

Tips on Triple Choc chunk fudge

Don’t STIR THE MIX whilst it is boiling to avoid re crystallising of the sugar

Don’t leave the fudge syrup boil for too long, because the it can burn.

Soak your fudge pot for a half hour in hot water, whilst cleaning up and cutting the fudge, this will get most of the stuck fudge off.

Without the Milk, cream or cream of tartar the fudge syrup can be refrigerated for many months to be used in hot chocolate or as topping for cakes or ice cream
