Combining Chocolate & Marshmallows for Fudge

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make this rich espresso fudge. Our first step in combining ingredients is going to be adding our chocolates to a bowl to be ready for heating it up later. We are going to have six ounces of bittersweet chocolate and you want to chop it into fairly small pieces which will help in enable it to melt once we pour in the hot ingredients. We are going to get this. We are going to use a rather large bowl so that it can accommodate all of the ingredients. And the easiest way to chop it up is just using a good chef’s knife. So that is six ounces of bittersweet chocolate and then we are going to have a quarter cup of marshmallow fluff. This is just stuff in the jar. Nice and gooey. This is really going to help with the texture of the fudge. So you want to use a rubber or silicone spatula to get it out of the jar and it is going to be very sticky and gooey so it is kind of a pain to measure. But as soon as you get your quarter of a cup in there and scoop that out into your bowl and hopefully not knocking anything down off the set while you are doing it. You know just get as much out of there as you can. If you can't get everything out don't worry about it so much. We are also going to have one teaspoon of vanilla. And just pour that in there. And of course this isn't really going to mix so much at this point. But we want to get all of these ingredients in there ready for melting at a later time. And then we are also going to have one ounce of non sweet chocolate. So unsweetened Bakers chocolates, you find that in the baking isle at your store. You just want to chop it. It's a little bit harder because it doesn't have any milk in it to soften it. So you are just going to chop it into little pieces like with the bittersweet chocolate in order to add to your bowl. "
