F is for Fudge - Crafting through the Alphabet

F is for... Fudge

So, I tried several f projects before turning to fudge. I tried flower pins after falling in love with the nail polish flowers on Pinterest. But mine turned out like this: 

Not exactly Pinterest-worthy. 

So then, I moved on to what I was sure would be a sure fire craft: making flower hair pins out of fabric flowers. The truth is, I love the flower department in any craft store, so it didn't take much to get me to browse through it. I was so sure of myself, I took a before shot of all the materials so I could send them to Kat to post!

Sadly, it didn't go quite as planned. The flowers looked lovely when I stuck the pins in my hair... But as soon as I pulled the pins out, they fell off. And I was left with bobby pins covered in dried, nobby-looking hot glue. So that was a wash. 

But it was ok! Because then I turned to fudge. And all was well with the world!

I used this recipe: http://flavorthemoments.com/salted-dark-chocolate-toffee-fudge/

The only difference that I found in practice was that she specified to take the mixture off the heat when adding the chocolate. It made a lot of sense until I tried it and nothing melted. So then I just stuck it back on low heat and it worked just fine. Next time is possibly add a touch less salt. But overall, it was a delightful recipe that I will definitely make again!
