Optimum temperatures to make fudge and toffee
Justin Coope, a fudge and toffee maker, explains how important it is to measure the temperatures of a fudge or toffee mixture carefully to ensure it doesn't become too soft or too hard when it cools. He explains he needs to heat fudge to 118 degrees Celsius, while toffee needs to be heated to 140 degrees Celsius. He uses a digital thermometer to measure the temperature. Chocolate can only be heated to about 30 degrees Celsius because it can burn easily.
