You Can Develop Your Own Chocolate Fudge Recipes

Enjoy the splendor of a rich chocolate surreptitiously melting against your warm tongue as you sneak a bite of chocolate fudge from under the table.  Don’t hide your chocolate in shame any longer.  Recent studies show that chocolate is actually good for the heart, so rather than sneaking your chocolate and feeling guilty, share the wealth of your favorite chocolate fudge recipe with coworker, friends and family.  What? You don’t have your own secret chocolate fudge recipe?  Well don’t fret, here are some great ideas you can add to any chocolate fudge recipe you find online.

There are copious amounts of chocolate fudge recipes online but what makes that fudge delectable are the simple personal touches you add.  If you don’t know how to make fudge find a recipe online that’s easy to make and adapt (adaptation is fundamental in order for you to create the best chocolate fudge recipe out there).  Soon you’ll have the desk everyone comes to visit (sure it will be to grab a bite of your soon-to-be-famous chocolate fudge, but that’s okay, isn’t it?).

The Basic Ingredients of Chocolate Fudge

This is just a general idea of what is in a chocolate fudge morsel of goodness so you can come up with some great ideas to add to the basic ingredients.  Of course there’s chocolate but there’s also butter, cream and some recipes that use baking chocolate might even call for sugar for a sweeter taste.

Making More of Your Chocolate Fudge

Again, your fudge isn’t complete until you have added a personal touch to your recipe.  Such touches as adding nuts (crushed almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, etc.), adding marshmallow crème, adding peanut butter, adding a sweeter liqueur like rum, Orange Marnier or Kahlua or even adding a better butter like cocoa butter chocolate or a richer heavier cream will literally enrich your own recipe with powerful flavors.  Just take some time to experiment.  Likely you’ll have a line around the block of people willing to be your guinea pigs to try each new recipe.

Once your chocolate fudge is mixed, baked, tested and passed you’re going to need to find a way to present your delectable treat to friends, family, neighbors and coworkers.  Using foil cups is a great way to store your fudge in a box that you can hand off as gifts to those very special people in your life.  What a great Christmas idea.

There’s no reason to feel guilty for enjoying a bit of chocolate every now and again.  It’s those special treats like chocolate fudge that make life worth living.  If you’re truly concerned about the calories in chocolate fudge perhaps you can find a recipe that has fewer calories so you can enjoy your chocolate fudge without guilt.  In the end, just enjoy your chocolate fudge.

Chocolate Passion: Recipes and Inspiration from the Kitchens of Chocolatier Magazine

Chocolate Passion: Recipes and Inspiration from the Kitchens of Chocolatier Magazine

Chocolatier magazine editors share their passion for chocolate, with recipes and techniques for creating spectacular chocolate desserts.

Blending passion with expertise, this book will become a chocolate lover’s instant favorite. Fifty-four luscious new recipes developed and tested by editors at Chocolatier magazine celebrate chocolate at its best, including the whimsical Tahitian Vanilla Swirls, the elegant Milk Chocolate Mousse Roulade, and the smooth, sophisticated Black Satin Chocolate Raspberry Cake. With separate sections on white, milk, and dark chocolate, and gorgeous full-color photographs of techniques and finished desserts, Chocolate Passion makes it easy to learn and master the secrets of working with every type of chocolate.

Tish Boyle (New York, NY) is Food Editor and Timothy Moriarty (New York, NY) is Features Editor of Chocolatier and Pastry Art and Design magazines. They are the authors of Grand Finales: The Art of the Plated Dessert and A Modernist View of Plated Desserts.To the growing cadre of books about chocolate, add Tish Boyle and Tim Moriarty’s Chocolate Passion. For it, the authors, both editors at Chocolatier and Pastry Arts and Designmagazines, have collected more than 50 recipes celebrating chocolate–the world’s favorite flavor, as they dub it. These include formulas for cakes, cookies, mousses, tarts, and candies. If most of the recipes involve multiple preparations, a sufficient number are simple enough to appeal to everyday cooks, and readers with any interest in the subject should enjoy the book’s exploration of chocolate history and lore.

Beginning with this investigation, the book then presents information on chocolate making; ingredient, equipment, and technique definitions; tempering instructions; and other chocolate working material. The recipes, organized by chocolate type–white, milk, and dark–follow, most illustrated with color photos; included also are comprehensive notes on chocolate and other suppliers. If the recipe organization is puzzling (few would choose a chocolate recipe based on the type of chocolate it contains) and the writing often infelicitous (“Milk chocolate, America’s favorite chocolate delivery system…” is an instance), the recipes are tempting and clearly presented. Among these, Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies with Milk Chocolate Frosting and Black Satin Chocolate Raspberry Cake, for example, have instant appeal. White-chocolate lovers will be happy to explore an extensive chapter devoted to the likes of White Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake; ambitious cooks will want to try their hand at the Gianduja Marjolaine, a chewy meringue and chocolate mousse cake layered with mocha buttercream and topped with ganache, among other full-dress recipes. In the end, the power of chocolate is such that, once under its spell, nothing will do but to have some. The book provides numerous delightful ways to make that happen. –Arthur Boehm

Truffles, Candies, and Confections: Techniques and Recipes for Candymaking Reviews

Truffles, Candies, and Confections: Techniques and Recipes for Candymaking

Imagine your favorite candy—maybe it’s a velvety raspberry truffle or a piece of crisp English toffee. In this completely revised and expanded edition of a culinary classic, pastry chef and teacher Carole Bloom shows intrepid bakers how to turn their visions of sugarplums into home-baked perfection. Bloom begins with an illuminating discussion of candymaking essentials, from ingredients to tools to techniques, and then shares more than 180 exquisitely detailed recipes for truffles, caramels, nut brittles, fudge, and more. If you haven’t dared to try candymaking or have been frustrated by attempts in the past, get out the baking sheets and gift boxes—it’s time to prepare, devour, and share batches of blissful, homemade treats like Mocha Truffles, Hazelnut Chocolate Kisses, Vanilla Cream Caramels, Butter Peanut Brittle, and Maple Pecan Fudge. Bloom’s clear, concise instructions will help beginners master even the trickiest techniques, like tempering chocolate and making caramel, and her many recipe variations will inspire experienced candymakers to experiment with new flavor combinations. With TRUFFLES, CANDIES, AND CONFECTIONS at your side, starting a candymaking tradition will be as rewarding as it is delectable.“If you have a passion for chocolate, caramel, toffee, or truffles, Carole Bloom’s collection of luscious two-bite confections will inspire you to create the sweet magic of a candy shop in your own kitchen.” —Flo Braker, author of The Simple Art of Perfect Baking and Sweet Miniatures“Smooth or chunky? Creamy or chewy? Chocolate or vanilla? Fruit or nut-filled? Such sweet choices will surely keep you up at night, luring you into the kitchen to melt and dip your way into candy bliss, then back into bed with a stash of sumptuous sweets.” —Lisa Yockelson, baking journalist and author of Baking by Flavor“This is the book that every chocolate-lover should have within reach at all times! From classic chocolate-dipped caramels and nutty brittles, to truffles with the most exquisite flavors imaginable, Carole’s classic book is without a doubt one of the most comprehensive and delectable books on chocolate ever.” —David Lebovitz, author of The Great Book of Chocolate“A first-rate book for making wonderful candy at home. This almost forgotten pleasure is made available to anyone with the careful, clear guidance in these well-tested recipes.” —Marion Cunningham, author of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook“Carole Bloom has done meticulous research, writing, and recipe testing for this irresistible book. It’s rare to find a teacher so committed to seeing her students succeed.” —Robert Steinberg, co-founder of Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker, Inc.“It’s not just Bloom’s background that makes this book so good; she has the rare ability to clearly explain technical procedures and write a recipe that’s easy to follow.” —Los Angeles Times
