Old-Fashioned Homemade Fudge Recipe

Old-Fashioned Homemade Fudge Recipe

This is a recipe that I have memorized and have made countless times.   It’s a family heirloom.    The family jewels.

It was recently entered in a county fair by my Aunt Rosemary and won 1st place.   Which makes it award-winning fudge as well.

I give it to you as a token of my love and deep gratitude for all the countless ways you’ve encouraged me these past few years.

The taste of this fudge could well be my favorite taste in the whole wide world.

This fudge recipe is my love language.

And I don’t like any other fudge at all.  It has to be this one.

Well, I mean I’d eat other fudge. But no other fudge does what this fudge does to me.

If I were transformed into a confection, it would most definitely be fudge.

And just so happens, it’s pretty easy to make.  You must give it a try.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 sticks of butter

6 cups of sugar

1 can of evaporated milk

1 can of marshmallow cream

18 oz (1 1/2 packages) of chocolate chips

2 t. good vanilla

Old-Fashioned Homemade Fudge Recipe via lifeingrace

In a large dutch oven on medium heat, melt butter, sugar and evaporated milk. Heat to boiling and once it has come to a rolling boil, set a 6 minute timer. After 6 minutes, remove from heat and add the marshmallow cream and chocolate chips.
And if I happen to be making this fudge with my mother around (who we affectionately call Grannie), this is where she gets bossy.  Even though I’m a grown woman who cooks all the time and who’s cooked this particular fudge a million times, when Granny’s around I’m 12 and can’t turn on the stove.  Do you do this too?   Start asking your mother how to do something you clearly know how to do? It’s kind of endearing,really.  Back to the fudge.   You have to stir it just right and we all know that only Grannie can do it just right. Just try your best. After it’s well combined, add the vanilla and continue to stir until the fudge no longer runs quickly off the spoon.   It kinda collapses off the spoon.     That’s when you know it’s ready.  Otherwise, ask Grannie.   She knows exactly when it’s ready.

You are now ready to pour the fudgy goodness onto the jelly roll pan and spread the mixture evenly around.

And this is my favorite part. Licking the bowl. Or the dutch oven. It’s the best ever.
Warm fudge from a spoon. Hide it from the children if you can. Hoard it all for yourself.
Wear your stretch pants.

Now pull yourself together long enough to slice it up.   But wait  about 30 minutes or so and it’ll be just right for slicin’.
And then once you eat this, it’s like we’re blood brothers.
But more like fudge sisters.
We’re for real friends now.
This chocolate bond can never be broken.
Your welcome.
xo,

    Oh Yum!!! I just adore fudge and will be making this today. I actually have all the ingredients in my house! Yippee! My mom use to make fudge every year with me and we would wrap it up to give as presents to just family members. It was like gold, that fudge. I know exactly what you mean about becoming a 12 year old girl again with Mom around while making fudge as an adult. She hovers over the pot and then suddenly swoops in, grabbing the spoon, while saying, “OK now, it’s got to be at the right speed and mixed just enough times for it to turn out right, let me just show you this one time . . .” Uh huh, because I haven’t made fudge by myself before. Great memories! Thanks so much for sharing your family recipe! I can’t wait to try it!

      I’m not sure about this fudge. But to me old fashion fudge isn’t creamy when you bit into it. It’s more of a dry fudge. I wish I could find a recipe to make it. Yours does look good though. I just prefer the drier fudge.

    Well Hello Fudge Sister!
    I made this earlier today after making a few other goodies. I’m giving a tin full of cookies, bars, & now fudge to some of my business contacts. I’ve never made fudge before and I bake & cook a fair amount. Guess I was scared that it was too hard. This was awesome & so creamy – melt in your mouth goodness. When people ask me I will be very quick to tell them that this is from my home schooling mentor, BFF, & fudge sister. Thanks so much for a new staple in my recipe box & maybe curses to you – I’m going to need new clothes!

    Hey Fudge Sister! I will be whipping up my own “Nanna’s Peanut Butter Fudge” this week. I myself am a fudge purist and only eat the chocolate stuff, but my sweet boyfriend loves peanut butter fudge so my Nanna insists when we do the holiday baking we make him a pan since he (in her words) “puts up with me all year”. She’s mostly right on that point!
    And I totally agree with the stirring part. You just have to stir until your arm is about ready to fall off, then magically it just turns to fudge.
    I will slip you the recipe for the peanut butter version in case you want to expand your fudge lovin.

    I will be licking a fudge stirring spoon this week and will think of you!

    My sweet fudge sister, we have been praying for you all week. Didn’t know what to do, so I made fudge and thought about you and prayed for you while I made it. Needless to say, we are all on a sugar high and are bouncing off the walls. The gallon of milk is gone and I had to bag up the fudge to keep it from being devoured. My husband was told by his doctor to lay off the sugar. After tasting the fudge, he said it could wait until after Christmas! Thanks for the recipe and for sharing yourself with your blog friends. I pray God will be your Peace and Comfort not only through Christmas, but through this new journey that started this week.

All I knew was that it used marshmallow creme and a BOATLOAD of sugar. When I read this post a few weeks ago I just couldn’t believe my luck. Just finished making a batch with my 13 year old son! (his one request for Christmas baking). Again thank you for posting this. I hope you and your family have a wonderful, joyful Christmas! I love reading your posts. You have such a way with words.

    I have resisted making this for three years! But, tonight I gave in and stirred up a batch. I didn’t have choc chips or marshmallow cream so I substituted what I had: 1/2 bar Ghiradelli semi sweet baking chocolate bar PLUS 1 bittersweet Ghiradelli baking bar and one regular size Hershey’s chocolate candy bar. For the marshmallows, I used 1/2 bag large marshmallows and cut them in smaller pieces and stirred in after the 6 minutes of boiling. Oh, my!! This was perfection. Now, I don’t know whether I want to veer from my substitutions because it is so creamy and good. 😘

    My last fudge-making adventure {w/another recipe} was a disaster, so I was very nervous about this, but finally decided to try. Got it all done. It really was so easy, and I was so proud of myself… until… I saw the vanilla sitting on the counter. Forgotten in the midst of all the stirring!!! Oh no. Did a taste test — and I would say the recipe is very forgiving w/o it. Definitely not a fail!!! Also, I used marshmallows which I had on-hand instead of the cream. Those marshmallows melted right up beautifully! Thanks for the recipe Edie

    I love what your sharing! Thank you for the way you make it look so simple. I also make this fudge but once in a while I throw in some pecans and caramel and there you have turtle fudge! It’s the most creamy smooth fudge out there.

    Just did a web search for “Grandma Cooper’s Fudge”, which is the name of my own family’s heirloom fudge recipe, not really expecting to find anything except a bunch of strange fudge recipes. Your post here was the first offering, and except for the quantities of a batch being different and the marshmallows optional, it’s just like mine. Even the cooking instructions are generally the same. 🙂

    Hmmm, I’m searching for MY grandmother’s recipes. I find it hard to believe your great-grandmother used a jar of marshmallow creme??? Perhaps you are very young and you are referring to the 1970s or 80s? I’m searching farther back than that, the 1940s – 50s.

    So disappointed. Tried making this for the first time and when I stirred in the marshmallow cream, I found the sugar/milk/butter had scorched on bottom during the six minute boil. What did I do wrong?

      Maybe you used a rather thin pot? One of my pots scorches any of my creamier recipes so I only use it for boiling water for eggs or for tea.
      Hope you can retry it. I’m giving it a go tomorrow!

    really enjoyed this one, and all the chat that went with it.Marinho does indeed look like he could have been a beach boy, but he is more denis wilson than brian or carl (though that keeper sounds like murray wilson). In fact, the more i think about it, left back, floayabmnt, never quite praised enough, playboy. Now then, did he ever make friends with a notorious serial killer?on sex before, during and after games, i’m all for it, and i think there is definately some sexual tension between mike newell and that lineswoman.

2 years ago today, your world shattered into a mil 2 years ago today, your world shattered into a million pieces.

Sometimes I marvel at how we were blessed enough to be there holding you when it all came crashing down. I do know this—I can’t remember my life without you.

I do know that thousands of tears and meals and boo-boos and toy trucks later, we stand in awe of you---your courage, your brave big boy fight, your tender little boy heart, your hilarious old man ways. 

We know how sacred this walk with you is and we don’t take it lightly.

We are here for it all and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We have always loved you and you have always been our special gift.

 Love you little one. Let’s keep listening for Aslan. He will find a way to put everything back together.

I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few days alone with this guy.  As soon as we drove out of the driveway I started crying. I don’t think I realized how much I needed a break.

it was incredible and relaxing and amazing and so life-giving. 

this week it feels like last week was 100 years ago because you know, life. 

I am excited to say that despite the fact that I’m another year older I managed to figure out how to go live on YouTube with my new camera. It only took me approximately 6000 hours. So maybe you’ll join me at noon today on YouTube and we’ll try something new together.

Here’s to 2021. Maybe it will get its act together but if it doesn’t we will get ours together😂🥳❤️❤️❤️
“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, tryin “To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”

We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure tod We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure today and it was so satisfying to see him tackle something hard and keep his chin up and have a BALL doing it.

He was very entertaining to his ski school friends, despite the fact that his German instructor couldn’t understand a WORD he said. 😂🥳

But all you mamas out there can see through all the pretty pictures and videos to know that days like today can also be full of frustration.

Making sure everybody has their stuff, the reservations, the snacks, the HASSLE of boots and poles and gloves and skis, the tears, the snappy replies, the hurt feelings, the wrong turns, the missed moments, the potty breaks.

NEED I GO ON??????

But then there’s the down to your soul goodness of being smack dab in the middle of God’s glorious creation, the sheer joy of the wind and sun on your face, the fleeting feeling that everything is right in the world, the triumph of tackling something hard and pushing through all the doubt and fear.

I felt every emotion today. What a privilege to live this life we’ve been given. What grace to live it with these people.

Today was a dream. But like every dream come true, it has a cost, it requires more of you than you think it will. You will want to quit.  A million times.  But what waits for you on the other side is worth fighting for. 

That’s what we’re diving into this week in my online workshop LIVE YOUR DREAM.

You may have given up on setting goals, but don’t stop dreaming.

Come dream with us and let’s make 2021 the year we were willing to be so alive that we would risk feeling EVERY emotion, every setback, every failure in order to see it come true.

We start tomorrow.

It won’t be the same without you.

Join us at https://lifeingraceblog.com/dream.

It’s time to dream again.

What’s one thing you’re dreaming about this year???
