I once made some malteser fudge which the girls (and boys) at my school really loved, so I decided to make some for our (sort of) last day of school, but using Nigella's fudge recipe from How to be a Domestic Goddess. My plan was to make the fudge, and then add some maltesers to the mix. Simple...
...Or not.
My poor fudge was cooking so nicely...
...being cooked exactly according to the recipe, following it to a tee...
...even using a sugar thermometer for utmost accuracy...
...it was looking oh so tasty....
...but sadly, when it came to cutting the fudge, it was not fudge at all. It had become a crumbly mess! I did not have luxurious, creamy fudge pieces - I had crumbly sugar dust!
So sad :'(
I don't think it would be fair to post the recipe on here and doom you to failure. However Istill feel thicounts as one of my 100 recipes; just because it didn't work, doesn't mean I didn't try!
At least the apple kuchen turned out well :)
Ahh well, it wasn't all bad - I had a massive box of maltesers and only used a few in this, so got to eat all the rest to drown my sorrows. Just tidying up after all... ;)
Have you seen the quick-fudge-recipe in "Express"? I really think that you adding Maltesers in the end there (just before putting in the fridge) would work!
ReplyDeleteIs that the chocolate and pistachio fudge? Perhaps I will give that a try and swap pistachios for maltesers! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, exactly.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never made it with pistachios, but with hazelnuts. But in the end you make it cool off, so the maltesers should keep their shape... And I guess you could replace the chocolate in the recipe by something else (so it is not chocolate upon chocolate - hhhhmm, why should that be a bad thing? :S ;P)
