How can I enhance fudge's "fudginess" and flavour?
My fudge recipe uses peanut butter, brown and white sugar, corn syrup, cream, and chocolate.
How can I can add a bit more "pizazz" to my fudge, taking the flavour from grandma's favourite fudge recipe and making it into a complicated, rich, exotic and exquisite taste?
Best Answer
A few things to think about:
- Sprinkling kosher, sea, or another interesting salt on it for a flavor contrast
- Using some small amount of pepper a la the trendy pepper chocolate bars out there, or perhaps some paprika for smokiness
- Adding orange or lemon zest
- Pairing with an unsweetened or very lightly sweetened raspberry syrup (at least in my experience fudge recipes don't need more sugar)
- Bacon (inside or on top)

Answer 2
Salt is a must in any chocolate recipe IMO--and not added as an extra texture or flavor at the end. I find that using a little salt in the recipe really bumps up the chocolate flavor in most things.
Answer 3
Cinnamon will compliment the chocolate and add a warmth and richness to fudge. The darker the chocolate, the better. Instant espresso powder is another great addition.
Answer 4
You don't say what you're using for chocolate, but there is certainly an opportunity there to try some variations.
