    It’ll still taste good. Maybe add some ice cream?

    Throw some ice cream on top and you’re good to go.

    Nothing quite so satisfactory as warm chocolate soup. Particularly if you pour it over some vanilla ice cream and throw some nuts on top. Maybe a little aerated butter fat too.

    perhaps it’d firm better, Opal, if you pop it into the fridge like one does with gelatin

    Grab a spoon, too. It’ll taste just as good.

    I actually had this happen to me once. I put it in the fridge as always, but it never firmed up. It wasn’t as runny as Opal’s fudge is, but it stayed so soft one had to eat it with a spoon. I have no idea why that happened. It tasted good though.

    Probably put pineapple in it. Fun kitchen-science fact: raw pineapple contains an enzyme, bromelain, that prevents Jell-O from setting up, but makes pineapple an excellent aid to digestion. (A related enzyme, papain, is found in papaya.) If you want Jell-O with pineapple in it, you have to add it after it gels.

    Pour the fudge into an ice tray, cover with plastic, stick tongue depressers in it, freeze, and you have homemade fudgecicles.

    Chocolate soup sounds good to me.

    Actually, chocolate anything sounds good to me.

    On second thought, I draw the line at Exlax.

    I gave up on traditional recipes. I use a can of sweetened condensed milk and a pound of chocolate chips (any kind). Microwave (15 secs at a time) until you can mix them together. Then spread the fudge into a pan and chill.

    Enjoy, but just know it’s going to have the same consistency coming out as it did going in.

    Back in the early 1950s, my mother once tried to make homemade oyster stew using canned oysters. Apparently, the recipe didn’t indicate, or mother just forgot, that the oysters should be drained and rinsed. The resulting concoction was a foul inedible brew. Moreover, her intention was to make enough to freeze for later consumption. I was about 4 or 5 years old at the time. Dad was working late, so she tried to feed me some of that mess. I couldn’t force it down (and I’ve often wondered if she ever tasted the stuff before trying to serve it). I was sent to bed without supper because I wouldn’t eat it. She was rather puzzled when I happily acquiesced. When Dad got home, she served him and herself dinner. Dad tried, I’m told, but when Mother got a mouthful, it was all over. I was awakened from a sound sleep by a tearful mother telling me how sorry she was, and Dad was out back digging a hole to bury the stuff. He swore later that every cat in the neighborhood showed up drawn by the smell but even the cats wouldn’t eat it. That was many, many years ago, and my father told that story with great amusement up until his death in 1992. Sometimes for no discernible reason things just go wrong. Culinary disasters make great memories.

    Of course, the next logical question arises: spoon or straw?

    Doesn’t matter. Fudge is fudge. Just pour it over ice cream.

    Reminds me of the time my cousin made chocolate creme pie and set in the fridge to firm up. After dinner she went to get it and came back and asked us if she could pour a piece of pie. LOL

    I’d still eat it. There are only 2 kinds of chocolate. Good and none. Which one do you want?

    My mom and I love to make “fudge” from crunchy peanut butter and powdered sugar. And that is all. Yum!

    I’m not sure I’d want a taste. No telling what is in there that prevented it from firming up.
