This year I managed to check my candy thermometer for accuracy with a pot of boiling water before I tried to make fudge with it. This turns out to be the key to making a successful batch of old school traditional fudge. 🙂 Follow Alton Brown’s fudge recipe, get your fudge up to 234-236 degrees, then wait for-freaking-EVER for the fudge to cool down to 110 degrees before stirring until both arms fall off.
If you happen to have one of those Cheese Knives from thecheeseknife.com , you can cut thru fudge like butter!
Here’s a video and a few pictures:
