Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment (~$15) to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly and they are far more reliable and reduce the number of dishes you use! Click here to order a food scale!
Why is my fudge not thickening?
If your fudge it noticeably thin, this may be due to not tempering your chocolate. DO NOT heat up your chocolate with your condensed milk.
Notice how chocolate stays soft after heating it up and chilling it again? This is because the chocolate is not tempered. This is an issue you can run into while making fudge. It is important to not melt your chocolate at all or it will not cool well or thicken your fudge. Simply add it to your warm condensed milk and let it melt into it.
