I always thought you were an old fudge packer. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

well the first fudge was too soft. I cooked it to 234F ....

...then I found another variation on the same recipe which said to take it to 238F so I did that, but took it to 242 by mistake and it was too hard.

I was only able to get it beaten a little and then scooped into a ball before it got hard on me.

so I had a big ball of hard packed fudge.

tasty, but not quite right.

I have a feeling that if I had nailed the 238F, it would have been just right.

excuse me while I bounce around like tigger on my sugar and cocao buzz......

I'll keep quiet, it's much to easy.
