Fudge Making Tips
Dry Weather and Candy Making

If you can wait for dry weather, it is advisable, as high humidity can cause your candy ingredients to absorb water and can ruin your recipe results.


Fudge Making Tips
Storing Chocolate

Chocolate is prone to absorbing moisture. For this reason, large quantities of chocolate should be stored between 57 and 64 F, in areas not subject to excess humidity.
