You can make fudge similar to See’s Fudge, the famous candy maker’s fudge. You may not be around a See’s, but you can enjoy See’s Fudge any time you like with this recipe.
It isn’t hard at all to make homemade fudge. It takes a little time to make homemade fudge. It is very important to make homemade fudge with a candy thermometer. You need to make sure this fudge recipe reaches the soft boil stage. Everyone loves to make a good old-fashioned fudge recipe. This will remind you of the fudge that your grandmother used to make when you were a small child.
Whenever making candy, I highly recommend a candy thermometer. It will help to ensure that you cook the candy long enough. It seems like candy takes forever to get it to the proper temperature, or I am just impatient. It could be both. So dig in the bag of your utensil drawer and grab that underused candy thermometer and make some homemade old-fashioned fudge just like see’s today.

This fudge was absolutely wonderful!!! I did have to cook it longer than 6 minutes. Rather than using cook time I used candy temperature. I’ll make this again, for sure!
Can the fudge be frozen? Thanks!
Stephanie says
That’s a good idea about the candy thermometer! Yes, this fudge can be frozen.

When you say Large Marshmallow’s do you the the really large ones they have now or the large regular ones opposed to the mini ones?
Stephanie says
I mean the regular sized ones, not the minis, and not the super large size. Does that help?

I grew up eating See’s candies, this will be a hit in my house.
Stephanie Manley says
I am so glad there isn’t a See’s closer to my house. I would be there too much. I love their dark chocolate covered caramels.

The best fudge recipe I have found. It’s the only one that turned out and everyone loved eating the fudge. Very easy and fast to make.
Cwill1950 says
This was the wrong recipe I used making fudge. This recipe is awful!!!!
After trying to make the fudge four times each time the fudge never set up. I followed the recipe to the T and I even thought I did something wrong the time before.
There is items missing from the recipe. It makes good ice cream topping (Very rich)
The best recipe is Mrs Field’s Fudge recipe. Very easy and truns out each time.
Semtchr says
This recipe is great! Creamy rich and set up beautifully. I use this recipe in my kid’s cooking classes and it comes out great everytime. You must boil the ingredients for six minutes (do so over low hear–just hot enough to get a boil) for it to work perfectly.

I made this for christmas I did exactly what the recipe said. Its not right at all it came out carmel and soft didnt harden!
Dana Anderson says
You didn’t cook the hot mixture long enough. If you have a candy thermometer, make sure it goes to at least the soft ball stage.
