Chocolate emergency!!!!

yup I thought that title would get some immediate attention..

So anyhoo - I've done the famous BB fudge - and i melted the chocolate - and mine turned out ok

Then DH decided to melt some more chocolate to do some jersey caramels in (thanks Sarah) but his chocolate looks as if its a big giant dog turd. It went soft - then hardened up again!!!! What did he do wrong - and can we fix it? We added some butter and put it back on the heat - but it didn't fix it!!

Argghh!! I soooo don't want to go down the shops tomorrow if I can help it.

HELP HELP!!!!

Add a little bit of vegetable oil and stir like mad!!!! It should fix it.

Thanks Cai - I seriously love you!!!!

*toddles off to try that tip*

Butter can sometimes make chocolate seize more. There's another tip for you ;) If you feel like its not working just add a little bit more mix again. It should fix it, works for me everytime. I don't know why it happens sometimes and not others.

*bows to the goddess Cai*

Yup. All fixed.

THANK YOU.

No problemo ;)

Isn't she great Mel :) So many times I've been on the phone to Cai saying "HELP ME!" cos I'm such a kitchen disaster LOL!

I think I would beat you in a competition about the crappiest cook...lol

Now Cai... about that number.... ;)

hehe

Wow Cai, I could use you in my kitchen! You are such a guru.

Hey Mel, have you ever made a butter cake without the butter??? Ooh I think I might start a thread ;)

Hmm.
Hint. do not add marshmallow to fudge.

I want to go live with Cai - she makes the most yummy things
