FAQs

What is the difference between white chocolate and white fudge? ›

Chocolate uses elements of the cacao bean; even in creating white chocolate, cocoa butter from the cacao bean is the main ingredient. Fudge, however, is a confection made both with and without cocoa or other chocolate elements. You can substitute vanilla or peanut butter, for example, for the chocolate.

What's the difference between caramel and caramel fudge? ›

What is fudge? While caramel usually contains just one key ingredient, fudge is made from a perfectly balanced mixture of sugar, butter, and milk. Plus, it's not heated as high — around 115 degrees Celsius.

Why did my fudge turn out like caramel? ›

Fudge can turn into caramel due to overcooking or undercooking, incorrect temperatures, or wrong ingredients.

Is white confection morsels the same as white chocolate? ›

White Chocolate tastes rich with Cocoa Butter, giving these candies a smooth, delicate taste. On the other hand, White Confectionary is a sugar rush of sweetness, artificially or naturally flavored with vanilla, depending on the type.

Is milky bar the same as white chocolate? ›

Milkybar® continues to be the UK's No. 1 white chocolate brand. It's natural ingredients and famously creamy texture make it the chocolate of choice for families around the world. The new ideas and product developments continue to make Milkybar® as exciting as ever, with something for everyone to enjoy!

Can I use caramel instead of condensed milk? ›

For my filling, I simply swap the condensed milk for tinned carnation caramel (a.k.a. dulce de leche) instead. This tinned caramel is actually made from sweetened condensed milk so it's essentially the same thing but it's pre-caramelised for you!

Do butterscotch and caramel taste the same? ›

Butterscotch is butter and brown sugar that has been slowly heated together to create a soft-crack candy. Just like caramel, the brown sugar molecules break down and, thanks to the addition of molasses in the sugar, caramelize into a richer, deeper flavor than classic caramel.

Is toffee the same as butterscotch? ›

Toffee is virtually the same thing as butterscotch, but with one major difference. It's cooked a lot longer. Toffee is purposely overcooked until reaches the hard-cracked stage. At this stage there is almost no water left in the original syrup.

Is evaporated milk or condensed milk better for fudge? ›

Evaporated milk doesn't have sugar added. The sweetened condended milk is needed as no extra sugar is added to the fudge. If evaporated milk were used then the fudge would not be sweet enough and also would still be too soft unless the fudge is frozen.

What is the secret to smooth fudge that is not gritty? ›

Once a seed crystal forms, it grows bigger and bigger as the fudge cools. A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals.

Do you stir fudge when it's boiling? ›

Avoid Stirring Once the Mixture Comes to a Simmer

Another key part of a successful fudge texture is when you stir the mixture. Stirring the sugar and milk during the initial stages of cooking allows the sugar to dissolve. However, once the mixture comes to a boil, it's time to put the spoon down.

What happens if you boil fudge too long? ›

Too cooked

The result is hard and brittle fudge. To save the fudge, put it in a saucepan with 45 to 60 ml (3 or 4 tbsp.) of 35% cream and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely melted. Then let it boil without stirring until the thermometer reaches 114 to 115 °C (237 to 239 °F).

Why is my 3 ingredient fudge not setting? ›

Why won't my 3 ingredient fudge set? This often happens when the condensed milk and chocolate chip mixture isn't hot enough to start. Everything must be completely melted before it is transferred to the pan to cool.

What is the difference between fudge and chocolate? ›

Although fudge often contains chocolate, fudge is not the same as chocolate. Chocolate is a mix of cocoa solids, cocoa butter and sometimes sugar and other flavorings and is hard and brittle. Fudge is a mixture of sugar, dairy and flavorings that is cooked and cooled to form a smooth, semi-soft confection.

What is white fudge made of? ›

White Chocolate Chips – Use your favorite brand of white chocolate since this will be the primary flavor. I love using chopped Dove white chocolate candy bars. Sweetened condensed milk- This is used to sweeten the fudge and give an ultra-smooth and creamy texture. Sea salt- Balances out the sweetness.

What's the difference between white chocolate and white creme Reese's? ›

But why is it called white crème instead of white chocolate? Technically, there's no cocoa butter in the white coating. It's made with vegetable oils like shea and sunflower along with milk, sugar, and vanilla extract instead. So it's not really white chocolate, but it pretty much tastes the same!
