Can you use ordinary sugar to make fudge? like medium grain sugar not confectioners? ?

Question

i wanna make fudge but i ran out of confectioneres sugar so i was just wondering if you can make fudge using normal sugar?

Answer 1

I always use ordinary sugar for fudge. Have never made fudge with confectioner's sugar, would be reluctant to try.

Answer 2

5 minute fudge

3 cups chocolate chips, according to preference (such as 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips plus 1 1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips)

14 ounces fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Dash salt

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or peppermint extract for Choco Mint Fudge)

Optional Mix-ins to personalize your fudge, such as:

For Rocky Road Fudge: 1 1/4 cups miniature marshmallows + 1 cup walnut pieces.

For German Chocolate Cake Fudge: 1 cup flaked or shredded coconut + 1 cup pecan pieces.

For Peppermint Stick Fudge: 1 cup crunched-up candy canes.

For Peanut Butter Fudge: 1 cup of peanut butter M&Ms.

Preparation:

Line an 8 x 8-inch or 9 x 9-inch square baking dish with foil.

Add chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and dash salt to an 8-cup microwave-safe glass measure and stir to blend. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave 1 minute more. Stir until chocolate chips are completely melted and a smooth mixture has formed.

Stir in any mix-ins you're using to personalize your fudge (including vanilla extract) and spoon into prepared baking dish. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Pull foil out of baking dish so you can easily cut fudge into about 49 squares (cut 7 columns vertically, then horizontally).  

Answer 3

yes you can in this recipe it's one of the ingridients

Old Time Fudge

4 heaping tablespoons cocoa

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

1 cup evaporated milk

6 tablespoons butter, plus extra for buttering dish

1 cup chopped pecans

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mix sugar and cocoa; add syrup and milk. Cook in saucepan over medium heat until a small drop forms a soft ball in cold water (234 to 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat. Add butter, pecans, and vanilla. Beat with mixer or by hand. Pour into a slightly buttered oblong glass dish and cut into squares. Work fast, as mixture thickens quickly.

Answer 4

Besides every other advice already given, you could just get the following simple step:

Just add as much as necessary ordinary sugar to your food processor and work it to the desirable let's say bulk.

Useful, isn't it?
