Is this recipe for russian fudge chewy or does it sort of crumble in your mouth?
I made this on Saturday. From woe to go it took just over an hour because you have to melt the sugar really, really slowly. By the time it looked about right, I was in a rush so I forgot to beat it after I took it off the stove. Hmm. The result was chewy around the edges and crystallised in the middle, all of which required a spoon! Rather dismayed, and somewhat embarrassed as I was serving this Anglosaxon delicacy to foreign friends for the first time, I took it home to try melting it again and beating it. I can happily say that as long as you beat the fudge as it cools, it works beautifully. It’s creamy, sweet, and very melt-in-your-mouth moreish!
So, thank you Helen, and thank you Mary!

This sounds really good. I’m curious about why this is called Russian. I’ll make some and see if the answer comes to me. Thanks for posting.
how long would it take to cool down? would it be possible to make this in under an hour?
