Posted in Moms-Kitchen

 

I've been making (and experimenting with) fudge recipes for the last 20+ years. 

Some of these are classic favorites, and some are new in the last few years. 

Scroll down the page and feel welcome to copy & print any recipe that catches your eye. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Mom’s Classic Creamy Milk Chocolate Fudge

An all time family favorite.

 

2 ½ c. sugar                     ¾ t. salt

¼ c. butter                       ¾ c. evap. Milk

1 7 ½ oz. jar Fluff              ¾ t. vanilla

¾ c. milk choc. Chips          ¾  c. white choc. Chips

½ c. copped nuts

 

Grease a 9 inch pan & set aside.  In a large saucepan,

combine sugar, salt butter, milk & Fluff.  Stir over

med.-low heat until blended. 

Increase heat to medium and bring to a full roiling boil. 

Boil and stir constantly for 5 minutes. 

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chocolate

until melted. 

Add nuts, turn into greased baking pan.

 

 

 

Mom’s White Chocolate - Eggnog Fudge

 

If you love eggnog like I do, you will LOVE this fudge. 

 

1/8 c. butter, chilled           3 c. sugar

1 c. eggnog                       6 oz. white choc. chips

1 ½ c. mini-marshmallows    1 c. almonds, chopped

½ t. nutmeg                      ½ t. cinnamon

 

Line a 9x9 pan with foil.  Spray the sides of a large

sauce pan with non-stick spray.  Add eggnog and sugar

and bring to a rolling boil over med-high heat, stirring

constantly. Boil for 2 full minutes, then add in

marshmallows, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Bring back to a

rolling boil, and boil and stir for another 6 minutes.

Mixture will begin to turn brownish, but if you see

flakes of brown, it’s scortching, turn the heat down a little. 

After 6 minutes, remove from heat and add nuts, butter

and chips. Stir until it begins to lose it’s glossy appearance,

then pour into prepared pan.  Cool at room temp.  Remove

from pan, remove foil, and cut into squares.

 

 

 

Grandma Zora's Olde Fashioned Raisin Fudge

 

When I was a little girl, grandma often put raisins in

her fudge.  Even today, when I enjoy chocolate

covered raisins, I think of grandma’s raisin fudge.

¼ c. butter                       ¾ c. evap. Milk

1 7 ½ oz. jar Fluff              1 t. rum flavoring

combine sugar, salt butter, milk & Fluff.  Stir over

med.-low heat until blended.  Increase heat to medium

and bring to a full roiling boil.  Boil and stir constantly

for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in rum and

chocolate until melted.  Add raisins , turn into greased

baking pan.

 

 

 

Mom’s Pumpkin Fudge

 

Spicey pumpkin adds a whole new twist to an all time

holiday favorite. I first made this just a few years ago

When mixture comes to a full boil, reduce heat to med.-low

Remove from heat, cool about 10 minutes, then beat in

spices, butter and vanilla.

Spoon into buttered dish, cool, cut into squares.

vanilla. Beat until it holds its shape. Drop by spoonfuls

onto waxed paper.
