Could you please provide the metric measure for the white chocolate chips? Thanks!

White lights for sure. twinkling or colored lights makes me think of a circus. The tree is totally mine. Gonna make the fudge when I can buy the chocolate.

In reply to Anita. Hi Anita! I typically don't have a strong preference on brand items, with the exception of the white chocolate chips here. I typically use Ghirardelli. It doesn't need to get to boiling when melting everything together. You really just need it melted and combined. I don't really do anything special other than what I have listed in the instructions so I hope it turns out better for you next time. :)

Would it be possible for you to specify what brand of ingredients you're using to help those of us that it's not setting up for, please? Do you let it start to boil at all when melting? It tastes great, so I'll be trying it again to figure out what the issue is and what to do to get it to set up correctly. Any little tricks or tips you do while making it would be of help. Thank you.

This is just AMAZING! It is so easy and delicious. It tastes like gingerbread dough, so yummy. I will share this recipe and make it again.

It worked perfectly for me! Made it as written and it was delicious. Lovely warm spiced flavor with a softly firm consistency. I gave it to family and they were all delighted. Simple to make and tasty, I’ll make it again!

In reply to Holly. I am happy that you have enjoyed my recipes, Holly, but sorry to hear that your gingerbread spice fudge did not set. I haven't experienced any issues when making this so I will try again and test your theory. Thanks for the feedback. :)

I just love your recipes Sam! And even after reading the comments about it not working I had to give it ago as it sounded delish! Mine too didn’t set and I used condensed milk and followed recipe I was so gutted! But guess what I took it out of the fridge after it not setting and decided to turn it into fudge sauce and it set while in the cupboard! I think that’s what everyone is doing wrong it needs to set at rom temp not in the. Fridge!

In reply to Sherry J Gillard. Could you tell my husband that we need white lights only. I have never had a problem with the fudge setting, and I have had others try it to make sure they could make it. They have all had success. If you try it, please let me know how it goes for you. :)

White lights for me! So, did we ever discover what was up with the Gingerbread Fudge? I’m not much on fudge, but I’m HUGE on gingerbread! I really wanted to try it.

I’ve had the same issue with it not setting. I was worried with such a high liquid to solid ratio that this would be the case. 3 cups white chocolate to 1-3/4 cups condensed milk and 1/4 cup molasses. Far too wet. I even added a half cup of flour and it still set like pudding. Will not bother with this one again.

In reply to Supermonbon. So the point of making it with condensed milk is so that it doesn't need a candy thermometer, while it's important with other recipes like old fashioned recipes that use sugar or evaporated milk (or this one), just melting it is all that I do for this recipe. I've had a few people have this problem, but I've tried it a lot of times and I can't replicate the issue, my only guess could be that evaporated milk was used instead of condensed milk, is that possible? I'm sorry, otherwise I don' t know why it's happening.

In reply to Stina.

Same issue here. Kinda set but still soft and sticky on the bottom after overnight in the fridge.
I think your recipe is missing specific directions of what point to heat the fudge up to. The internet tells me it needs to be at 261 degrees or “soft ball stage” in order for the sugars to properly crystallize and set the fudge. There’s no way it got that hot by just heating to melting.

Would you mind measuring the temp of yours next time you make it? I’m curious what temp you achieve when it sets properly.

In reply to Stina. I'm so bummed to hear this! Is there any chance that you used evaporated milk instead of condensed milk?? I've made this so many times and just made it again last weekend without a problem, so I'm not sure what might've gone wrong!

Well that was a complete FAIL!! I made this fudge for a Christmas party, took it out the fridge to cut and get ready and the whole thing is soft and not set like fudge is meant to be! I followed every step of your recipe and now I have wasted my time and money on something I can’t even get out of the pan it’s so soft. And now it is too late to make anything else. Thank you but I won’t be making it again. Not happy!

I love gingerbread and hope to make this fudge. We have a small tree with white lights, but I like the multicolor lights on trees, too.

I always have to have my big, bold multicolor lights that look like their from the 50s. I can't help it. Yay for no candy thermometer. Gingerbread is my favorite flavor of the season, so I'd love this!
