I made sour cream fudge this morning and forgot the Karo syrup untill the last minute. It did not set up?

Question

Can I reheat it to boiling to try and save this ? I don't think I got it all the way to soft ball stage. Please help if possible!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You have to start over, it sucks. Sorry.
Here is a sour cream fudge cake recipe. I know you wanted fudge, but this is good to try to.
1/4 pound plus 1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1/4 cup hot water
Fudge Cake Icing, recipe follows

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9 by 2-inch rectangle baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Using an electric mixer, fitted with a wire whip, cream the remaining butter and sugar, scraping the sides down occasionally. Add the sour cream and mix to incorporate. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Sift the flour, cornstarch and salt. Add the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, scraping down the sides occasionally. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla and mix well. Dissolve the coffee in the water and add this mixture to the chocolate mixture, mix well. Pour the batter in the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Frost with Fudge Cake Icing

Answer 2

Considering the karo syrup is what's missing, you should be able to save the recipe.
If you you need to carmalize it first, then fix it in a different pan.

Answer 3

Use the frist batch for icecream or if thick enought frost a cake.

Answer 4

The syrup needs to caramelize. You needed to cook it longer. I'm afraid you have to start over. :(
