Cook techniques
Melting Chocolate
To melt chocolate smoothly, use a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in short intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
Combining Ingredients
When mixing ingredients, ensure to incorporate them gently to maintain a smooth texture. Stirring too vigorously can introduce air, affecting the final consistency.
Setting Fudge
For best results, allow the fudge to set at room temperature. Placing it in the refrigerator can speed up the process, but it may alter the texture slightly.
