    I was about to say this, but you beat me to it! Nothing against condensed milk confections, but this is exactly what I wanted to find when I looked for a video on making fudge. I also appreciate that he performs the tabling step in a pot, removing the need for a marble table.

    This looks good, but, when you were talking about the fudge being shiny or matte, I really feel like you should have shown a close up of the fudge, showing exactly what you meant. I think that would've been really helpful for some people. Like, if you had done a close up of the fudge on your spoon, showing the difference between the shiny fudge and the matte fudge, it would have been a lot better, and taken some of the guess work out of making it ourselves. Other than that, it was a good video 👍

    Thanks for the tips! I'm in the mood for some peanut butter fudge now ... to the kitchen! Just a quick note ... the temperatures that were given for calibration are at sea level. The boiling point of water goes down by about 0.9F (.5C) for every 500 feet. There are several charts online that can be used to adjust for it, search for 'what temperature does water boil at different altitudes'.

I have however seen a very similar recipe where unsweetened chocolate was used (as well as vanilla extract and salt, which both bring out the chocolate notes).

    Can you half the amount of sugar or at least cut it some without compromising texture and structure? I've never had a fudge that was actually good because it was waaaaay too sweet for me. It is completely inedible. But I know sugar does have functions other than just sweetening things So I am always cautious about using less sugar.

    Ok this is old but I’ll answer for posterity. This is very difficult. You’ll get a similar problem if you try to make a confectioners sugar frosting that’s light and fluffy but not disgustingly sweet. I can’t do it. The magic of the fudge is it’s fine texture which is formed by solidifying the sugar into small crystals. Without all of the sugar your fudge is just a really strong chocolate milk or a really milky piece of wet chocolate.

    Cheater Fudge. Corn syrup, peanut butter, marshmallow, marshmallow cream = Cheater Fudge. All of the above are designed to help you cheat and keep the sugar crystallization tiny in the end product, but without the work. You can taste the work.... well, specifically, you can taste the difference in non-Cheater Fudge because it doesn't use those ingredients, it instead uses care and work to ensure a silky fudge. 7:11 - Gross.
