Test Kitchen Discoveries

• The fudge’s light texture was a result of mixing the candy before spreading it in the pan.
• We tried this recipe using dark brown sugar and then with light brown sugar; the deep molasses flavor of the dark brown sugar made the fudge too potent to eat, while light brown sugar worked great.
• Adding ½ cup of chopped hazelnuts or pecans made the fudge taste like praline.
