what can I do with fudge that turned out too soft?

Question

Any other ideas before I toss it out? I tried to make Peanut Butter fudge but didn't cook it long enough so it didn't set. It's very tasty.. can I bake it or make it into something else?

Answer 1

If it is spreadable, put it in as a "frosting" layer in a cake.

I would probably work well with chocolate, like a Reese's kind of thing.

Sounds pretty good actually!!

Answer 2

I would put it in a double boiler and let it melt while stirring. Add some heavy cream half and half or even regular milk. For a normal size recipe of fudge, start with about a quarter of a cup of whatever liquid you choose, stir it in slowly as you stir. It should be stirrable but not too thin. Add about 3 tsp. of finely ground coffee (even instant will do in a pinch). And for the piece de resistance, add about 3-4 tablespoons of Kahlua
This will make a great fudge sauce, either cold or warmed in a pan of hot water over low heat.
Put this in a glass or metal container in the fridge (if it lasts that long), so that you can just pop it into a saucepan with a couple inches of water in the bottom the next time you want an ice cream topping.............YUM!

Answer 3

there's nothing you can do to "fix" it. Just cut it into cubes the best you can and keep them in the refrigerator. They'll still taste great. My co-worker gave me the simplest, most fail-proof fudge recipe I have ever seen- almost too easy to be true:

1 - canned frosting (any kind of chocolate)
1- 12 oz. bag chocolate chips

Melt the 2 ingredients together in the microwave (watch carefully). Pour into buttered pan, refrigerate until firm. It is best tasting, most RIDICULOUSLY EASY homemade fudge I've ever had.

Answer 4

You could shape it into a ball and then dip it into some melted chocolate for something like a truffle, but fudge filled instead! After you dip them place in fridge to harden the chocolate so they can hold the shape.

Answer 5

I am not sure re-cooking it will work. But I would not waste it as it would be very nice as a topping over ice cream and deserts, or even for caramel slice.

Answer 6

Add some nuts or coconut or both.. Don't throw it out. You could add more peanut butter and some confectioners sugar to thicken it up. i want a little bite but i know i can't have it.

Answer 7

Once it is cooked, there is nothing else that can be done with it. If you don't mind eating it with a spoon, eat it that way otherwise you will have to toss it.

Answer 8

Save it in your refrigerator - it's great heated up in the microwave and poured over ice cream.

Answer 9

Warm it up a little and use it as an ice cream topping.

Answer 10

use it for hot fudge sauce.. it will keep in a jar refridgerated for a few weeks.
