- 4. While beating egg whites gradually pour syrup into bowl while beating or stirring constantly... Beat until creamy and add nuts or what ever else you are planning to add...Do this quickly before it sets on you...
- 5. if using a tin butter it first before pouring fudge into it..If using wax paper for drops, place waz paper out on to counter or table...
- 6. Using tsps (2) spoon out of bowl quickly before it has time to set...It does set fat...Let cool and put into an airtight container...If you used a tin you may cut as you do with regular fudge...
