Making Fudge
Preparation:
Prior to starting, pre measure ingredients; pre-melt the butter or cut into 1/2”
pieces at maximum.
Ensure the bag of dry fudge mix is free of clumps. Before opening bag, gently
knead/massage the bag of dry mix to work out any clumps which may have formed

Total Cook Time:
16 minutes (Add 2-4 minutes for a cold kettle or non-melted butter.)
1.
Turn Heat/Motor Switch ON and ensure toggle switch is in the OPERATE position (the
preset set point temperature is 185°F).
2.
Add quantity of water and butter (pre-melted) to kettle, per type of fudge being made.
3.
If butter is not melted prior to adding to kettle, wait until it begins to melt and combine

If product has accumulated on paddle or drum walls, then turn the Heat/Motor Switch
OFF, and use the included spatula to push any dry mix into the fudge, then turn the
Heat/Motor Switch back ON.
