Really, is there any other kind of fudge worth having? The last of it was finished off today, so I figure now is as good a time as any to post some pictures of this fabulous creation. If you want to make it, and I highly recommend that you do, you can get the recipe from the King of the Kitchen, Alton Brown. Sure, 234° may scare you off, but really its not that hard. I got my candy thermometer from the hardware store for $4!
What starts off as a simple mixture of sugar, butter, chocolate and half and half becomes the gorgeous fudge that you see below. The hardest part was the vigorous stirring required to make all the tiny crystals that give fudge its characteristic texture. But, just like childbirth, while it may suck at the time, looking back on it, I could totally do it again. (Did I really just compare making fudge to what the Kovixen is going to go through in a little over 2 months?)
I should mention, if you do make it yourself, please for the love of all things holy, line your 8" x 8" baking dish with parchment or wax paper. The directions neglect to mention that, and I had a heck of a time getting it out of there with no squishing.
For those of you who made it this far, be sure to check out this wicked awesome website I found. You can play these totally rad games online, for free! *cough* *cough*
Yeah, I don't think you can compare stirring for a few minutes and childbirth. I'll get you back for that in the hospital. You are warned.
I don't see *you* offering to stir the fudge pot. Yeah, that's what I thought!
I wasn't there bitch. omg you are soooooo in the dog house.
It's a showdown! Battlestar Kovaxica!
I put money down on Laura.
That looks awesome, I'm going to give that a try myself over the weekend. Well, I say 'myself', I'll probably ask my wife to help me, she's much better in the kitchen than I am. Fortunately, though, she loves homemade chocolate fudge just as much as me!
