I personally don’t have one but I wish I did. If you can get your hands on a non-stick saucepan that will make stirring a lot easier. They are not that expensive but you need to know when your mixture gets to a certain temperature. Few suggestions before we get started: I highly suggest you get a candy thermometer. This would be perfect for gift giving or as a substitute for a cookie exchange. Since I can’t made creme brulee everyday (darnit!) and it’s not something you can easily share with friends I decided to finally make creme brulee fudge. I’ve pretty much made of for lost time though and have sampled lots of creme brulee desserts since then but nothing will ever beat my first one. I even ate escargot with some oil Sheik boyfriend of hers at the Beverly Hills Hotel when I was about 8 years old and yet I had never been introduced to this?! I felt kind of robbed. Some crazy food I could’t pronounce, couldn’t spell, couldn’t even tell you what was in it. you don’t understand! It was the best dessert ever!

I have been dreaming of creating creme brulee fudge for a long time and this weekend I finally just did it. Not all creme brulees are created equal though and as much as I love sampling them (and I really do) there are very few places I will order them again.
