    Consistency??

    Hi, I mastered pretty much making my fudge. And I swear I can detect a difference in taste at practically the gram level. 20g of butter just isn’t the same as 18g of butter. I don’t know if I should micromanage the quantities to this precision but one thing I have noticed is my fudge tastes...

    Chocolate seizes for nothing ???

    I don’t really remember the order of how I put my ingredients in my chocolate but it seems like if you mix in butter in your chocolate **BEFORE** you add any water based ingredients (in my case yogourt) it won’t seize or clump up the chocolate !!! Have you ever experienced this ??
