History of Fudge

Did you know it is believed fudge was first invented by an accident? While the exact origins of fudge are somewhat debated, it is widely believed to have originated in the college dormitories in New York in the 1880s. Legend has it that a batch of caramel-like candy was accidentally “fudged” by a student who failed to properly heat the ingredients, resulting in a deliciously creamy and decadent confection.

Ingredients for Easter Fudge (Makes about 20 pieces)

• 2 cups white baking chips, 340g
• ½ can sweetened condensed milk, 150ml
• 1 bottle Spring-themed sprinkles, 70g

Instructions

1.Place white baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring often, until the baking chips are completely melted.

2. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir until uniform. Allow the mixture to cool a bit so the sprinkles don’t melt when mixed in.

3. Mix half a bottle of spring-themed sprinkles.

4. Pour the mixture into a piping bag and pipe it into your silicone mold. Add more sprinkles on top.

5. Refrigerate fudge for 2 hours or until it is hardened.

Tips for Perfecting Your Easter Fudge

• Use High-Quality Ingredients: Start with the best ingredients you can find.
• Avoid Overmixing: Avoid stirring it too much before piping it into the silicone mold. Overmixing can cause the fudge to become grainy instead of smooth and creamy.
• Add Sprinkles Carefully: Fold them into the fudge mixture gently and evenly to ensure they’re distributed throughout.
• Experiment with Flavors: Get creative with your fudge flavors! Consider adding extracts like vanilla, almond, or peppermint for extra flavor depth, or swirl in some peanut butter or caramel for a delicious twist.
• Allow Proper Setting Time: Let your fudge set completely before taking it out of the mold.
• Store Properly: Store your Easter fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
