This delicious Root Beer Fudge is a nice variation of your typical fudge recipe. If you love the flavor of Root Beer you will love this one!
This Root Beer Fudge reminds me of my childhood. Not that I ever had root beer fudge as a kid but I did eat a lot of fudge and loved the taste of root beer. It wasn't until a handful of years ago that I really noticed that there's was all kinds of gourmet type fudges out there. As a kid, it was pretty much chocolate or maple fudge.
Fudge is pretty easy to make. The key is to have a good thermometer on hand. The temperature of the mixture is key to a good fudge. While I prefer a digital thermometer, you can also use an old school candy thermometer. In my experience, you want to reach a temperature between 237°F and 239°F before removing it from the heat source.
I have found that finding Root Beer Concentrate or Root Beer Extract can prove to be pretty challenging. I opted to order mine off of Amazon.
If you have a hard time locating the Root Beer Concentrate or extract, or simply don't care for the flavor of Root Beer, Make sure you check out my Peanut Butter Fudge recipe.
