Digital Heat Control Adjustment
For best results, fudge should be cooked until it is ‘whipped’. So what does ‘whipped’ mean?
Generally speaking, this means that all of the sugar has been hydrated which creates a fluffy,
smooth, not gritty, shiny & uniformly mixed product. ‘Whipping’ occurs with our Sweet
Selections Fudge Mix when the product has reached a temperature of approximately 60°F
(takes approx. 2- 5 minutes once all ingredients have been added and initially mixed in).
In order to achieve this product temperature the digital control on Gold Medal’s Fudge Machine
should be set at 85°F. *It is i portant to note that due to variations in your electrical current,
as well as what type of fudge you are making and what type of inclusions or add-ins you may be
using, optimum product temperatures may be slightly higher or slightly lower than 60°F. Thus,
using a candy thermometer to check actual product temperature plus a well trained and
experienced eye (to know when it has been ‘whipped’) is critical to achieving the best result
possible. (Reference the Making Fudge section for complete instructions on how to make fudge.)
The Set Point Te perature is preset at the factory to 85°F (the bottom digital display
temperature seen on the green background). The top digital display temperature (seen on the
yellow background) shows the heat sensor temperature in the kettle. This is NOT the product
temperature.
Note: The Set Point Te perature will be higher than the product te perature.
Refer to the candy ther o eter for accurate product te perature.
Digital Heat Control Adjustment
If the fudge product cooks too fast, or too slow, the Set Point Te perature may need to be
adjusted. Follow the steps listed to increase or decrease the set point temperature of the kettle.
Note: OUT and Heat Indicator Display will turn OFF when unit reaches the set point
temperature.
. To change the Set Point Temperature, make sure unit is in the desired mode (Operate
or Clean).
2. Turn the Heat/Motor Switch ON.
3. Press the or button to raise or lower the Set Point Temperature as needed.
4. Once the temperature is set, press the Button to lock in the new temperature.
5. To change the Set Point Temperature of the other mode, turn the Heat/Motor Switch
OFF, then repeat from Step .

Making Fudge
The fudge cooker mixer is designed to use 7 lbs. dry mix per batch. A batch yields approximately
8 lbs. of fudge (use a 9” x 3” x 2” cake pan). Reference instructions below for water amounts to
make a chocolate, vanilla, or base mix, and for butter amounts (butter may be salted or unsalted).
#2715 Chocolate Mix – 4 sticks ( lb.) butter, use 2 oz. water
#2716 Vanilla Mix – 3 sticks (3/4 lb.) butter, use 0 oz. water
#2717 Base Mix– 3 sticks (3/4 lb.) butter, see water amounts below
•Flavoring concentrate that has a high acidity level (any fruit flavors or our Sno-Kone®
concentrates) - use 3 oz. of flavor concentrate and 5 oz. of water.
•Flavoring concentrate with low acidity – use 3 oz. of concentrate and 7 oz. of water.
•Adding crushed nuts, candy canes, candy pieces, or cookie pieces with no concentrate
flavoring - use 0 oz. of water.
Making Fudge
Preparation: Prior to starting, pre measure ingredients; pre-melt the butter or cut into /2”
pieces at maximum.
Ensure the bag of dry fudge mix is free of clumps. Before opening bag, gently
knead/massage the bag of dry mix to work out any clumps which may have formed
due to packing.
Total Cook Ti e: 6 minutes (Add 2-4 minutes for a cold kettle or non-melted butter.)
. Turn Heat/Motor Switch ON and ensure toggle switch is in the OPERATE position (the
preset set point temperature is 85°F).
2. Add quantity of water and butter (pre-melted) to kettle, per type of fudge being made.
3. If butter is not melted prior to adding to kettle, wait until it begins to melt and combine
with the water before moving to next step (approximately 2-4 minutes). DO NOT add
dry ix until butter and water ixture is fully ixed and butter is elted.
4. Turn Heat/Motor Switch OFF momentarily and slowly add dry fudge mix to kettle,
then turn Heat/Motor Switch back ON and cover kettle for minute (this will minimize
clouding), then remove lid for remainder of the cooking cycle.
5. If product has accumulated on paddle or drum walls, then turn the Heat/Motor Switch
OFF, and use the included spatula to push any dry mix into the fudge, then turn the
Heat/Motor Switch back ON.
6. Question – To what te perature do I have to cook the Fudge?
Answer - For best results, fudge should be cooked until it is ‘whipped’. So what does
‘whipped’ mean? Generally speaking, this means that all of the sugar has been
hydrated which creates a fluffy, smooth, not gritty, shiny & uniformly mixed product.
‘Whipping’ occurs with our Sweet Selections Fudge Mix when the product has reached
a temperature of approximately 60°F (takes approx. 2- 5 minutes). In order to

Fudge Cooker/Mixer Model No. 2183-00-000

achieve this product temperature the digital control on Gold Medal’s Fudge Machine
should be set at 85°F. *It is i portant to note that due to variations in your
electrical current, as well as what type of fudge you are making and what type of
inclusions or add-ins you may be using, optimum product temperatures may be
slightly higher or slightly lower than 60 degrees. Thus, using a candy thermometer
to check actual product temperature plus a well trained and experienced eye (to know
when it has been ‘whipped’) is critical to achieving the best result possible.
Turn unit OFF to insert or remove thermometer to measure product temperature.
7. Once the fudge is cooked to desired texture, remove thermometer, then move the
kettle to a half-tilt position. This allows the fudge to work its way to the bottom
portion of the kettle for dumping.
8. Turn the Heat/Motor Switch OFF. It is best to stop the unit when the paddle is in a
vertical position; this allows the fudge to flow easier from the kettle when dumped.
Note: If the paddle is stopped in a horizontal position, it can hold back the product
flow when dumped, and prevent maximum product removal.
9. Dump the kettle to pour fudge into a parchment lined pan; scrape the bottom and
sides of the kettle and the paddle with the spatula.
0. Smooth the fudge in the pan with the spatula and loosely cover with parchment paper
(or similar item) to prevent drying out, yet still allow fudge to cool without forming
condensation.
Cooling time will range from 4 hours minimum, to preferably overnight. DO NOT
refrigerate the fudge; it can cause it to dry out.
. Once cool, carefully hold a tray to the pan of fudge, then flip pan over to remove fudge.
Peel off parchment paper. Cut and serve fudge to suit.
Do not pre-cut or score fudge, as this will cause the edges to become dry and brittle.
Only put in an airtight container once it has cooled to room temperature. Store fudge
at room temperature.
