I boiled the mixture to the 280 listed in this recipe and it did not work...it was browned and hardened. I may try again using 240 - that is if I can get the hardened burned mess off my thermometer -
I made this for Christmas and it got rave reviews, thanks! -
I was thinking about making this but had to look up soft ball stage as I don't have a thermometer, the websites I found said that softball stage is actually at 240 F -
I have to face the fact that when it comes to fudge Julie B's a failure, LOL. I keep trying but the fudge keeps winning. I followed the recipe exactly but it didn't whip up much (used my Kitchenaid) and in the pan was no thicker than 1/2 inch, gritty, and I had to scoop it out with a spoon to even get a good sampling. LOL The taste was marvelous though, the eggnog flavor coming thru very well. I'm not rating the recipe because I know I've never been able to make a decent fudge but I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that it's yummy made by the right person... which is not me... boohoo...
