What the AI looks for in Fresh Fudge
- Dairy base
- Butter and cream or condensed milk, not hydrogenated oil. Fat type drives creaminess and taste.
- Texture style
- American slab fudge is smooth and soft. British fudge is firmer and grainier. Most disappointment comes from expecting the other style.
- Freshness
- Fresh fudge keeps a few weeks airtight and freezes well. Check that it is sealed in plastic, not just boxed. Exposed fudge dries out and crystallizes.
Brands that matter
- Murdick's Fudge: Mackinac Island slab fudge.
- Fudge Kitchen: UK handmade crumbly fudge.
- See's Candies: Boxed fudge, gift-friendly.
What to avoid
