Fudge! OMG what can I say about SA style fudge to do it justice? I dream of fudge, and it is one of the things that I have missed the most in the almost 10 years I have been away from South Africa. I have not been able to acclimatise myself to the American style fudge in any way. The chocolate varieties are just too chocolately for my taste and the vanillas are just too sweet. Ok I admit the SA variety is super sweet as well but it is tempered with the wonderful rich caramel/toffee flavors that give it it's beautiful rich color and flavor. The Scottish might see this recipe and think wait that's Tablet! It is no such thing however. The recipes and formula might be almost identical, but there is an important step at the end of South African fudge that makes it unique. This step completely changes the texture from the smooth toffee consistancy to the beautiful, grainy, melt-in-your-mouth texture of fudge.
After some experimentation with conversions and substitutions from South African to American measurements and products here is my Out of South Africa Fudge Recipe!
