Question 1

Why is my fudge not getting hard?

Accepted Answer

If you do not bring the chocolate up to the right temperature, it will not harden as it should. That is why you should use a candy thermometer. The chocolate should be brought to between 234 degrees F and 240 degrees F for it to get to the right consistency. You may also have used too much liquid for it to harden correctly.

Question 2

What is the easiest way to melt chocolate?

Accepted Answer

Melt the chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave for easier melting. Stir every 20 to 30 seconds until it is smooth. This is the fastest way to melt chocolate. If you are using a chocolate bar, chop it up into small pieces so it will melt evenly. But always stir every 20 to 30 seconds to prevent lumps or burning.

Question 3

Can I use something besides mint?

Accepted Answer

You can use any kind of flavor you like from strawberry to blueberry or even lemon, lime, or orange. Then, change the food coloring to make the white chocolate the color you like. You can even add chopped fruit in the fudge or on top for extra flavor.
