Best fudge recipe... (you'll want to make this!)

valerie · Post by **valerie** » Sat Nov 27, 2004 4:38 pm

This is not an urban myth... my aunt years ago worked for

See's Candies and got this recipe for (small batch) fudge.

It's killer, gang, so be careful!! I have only given this out one time but now decided to share with you all.

See's Fudge

4 1/2 cups sugar

1 can + 1 oz. Evap. milk (13 oz.)

Place in large kettle + bring to full rolling boil for 8

mins, stirring constantly. (Keep heat as low as possible

while still boiling)

Place in large mixing bowl:

3- 6oz pkgs semi-sweet choc chips

1 7oz jar marshmallow cream

2 cubes butter 2 tsps vanilla

Pour sugar and milk over ingredients in bowl.

Stir until smooth and add 3 cups chopped nuts.

Pour into large cookie sheet. When cool, cut into

small squares.

Evap. milk used to come in 13 oz. cans.

A little spray coating on your kettle will help

keep mixture from sticking and make clean-up

easier.

Yummy. Enjoy!

Ohhh.. I love fudge

thanks for the recipe.. 3 cups of nuts does not sound like a small batch though LOL

last time made fudge something was wrong with the candy thermometer and the fudge would not harden.. it was like molasses, sticky.. but we still ate it (with a spoon)

Sounds lovely, and me on the Atkins as well ( mind you anything with carbs in sounds lovely!) :rolleyes:

Hmmm I guess that's "small batch" as opposed to what a See's Candies store

would make for sale to customers! It is actually quite a bit but I always keep

it in the fridge and get nice little boxes, makes great hostess gifts for parties

and if people stop by. I limit myself to a piece or two a day. TRY to limit

myself.

My husband just came in totally shocked "SWEETIE, YOU'RE GIVING AWAY

YOUR FUDGE RECIPE?"

I'd like to be put on record that I can vouch for Valerie's fudge.

OUTSTANDING! We've been the lucky recipients of her fudge over the years.

I love fudge, my mum used to make big batches of it when I was a kid

my favourite flavour back then was chocolate but now I prefer rum and raisin

you can't beat homemade fudge though, thanks Valerie, will try out the recipe asap

Oh, I'm glad this thread got a BUMP! I'm going to try this - but I haved a question. I'm not much of a cook, so have pity on me. What's a "cube" of butter?

Sheryl · Post by **Sheryl** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:04 pm

It's sticks of butter.

I had to ask too.

Chickadee · Post by **Chickadee** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:20 pm

I think I'm in the Twilight Zone! I posted to this thread a little while ago and asked a question....but my post is not here.

Oh, well, I'll not take it personally.

I love fudge, but am not much of a cook. Please tell me what a "cube" of butter is. I'm going to try to make this. If it doesn't work out...well, I've learned how to hide the evidence.

If you can't see this, please let me know! :yh_laugh

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:22 pm

Oh, I have been thinking of fudge for about two weeks now! I am getting out my shopping list for all these ingredients, thanks!:)

Hey, what gives??! Now I'm really confused...if this is an attempt to make me think I'm losing my mind, it's working. I can see both my replies now. Weird. Just pretend I'm not here...

A "cube" is a stick of butter, Chickie.

I made this recipe "as written" yesterday. It does taste wonderful, but it didn't set up so it can be cut - it's still rather "spoon fudgy". I'll blame myself for not checking any other "See's Fudge" recipes online, but have just done that, only to find that they call for "3 bags (12 oz.) choc. chips", where your recipe states "3 bags (6 oz.) choc. chips. Others = 36 oz. total, yours = 18 oz. total. That could certainly account for it not getting hard enough to cut. Any thoughts? Linda

Sometimes called marshmallow FLUFF. It looks like marshmallows

that aren't "formed" it's very gooey and sticky. I'm not sure

you can get it anywhere but the states...

Thank you so much for the recipe. I bought the ingredients yesterday and just read the post from fudgefinder that said she thinks it needs 3 12 oz. pkgs. instead of 3 6oz. pkgs. 0f chips. Which is correct? Did hers not set because of under boiling it? I'm all set to start boiling.

valerie · Post by **valerie** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 7:34 pm

Three 6 oz. packages... 18 ounces total is the correct amount. The 6 oz. packages

can be hard to find, so sometimes I buy just 2 of the 12 oz. and then split the second

package in half, weighing out 6 ounces. It's more of a pain doing it that way, but

whaddya gonna do?

Let me know how it turns out for you!!

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:34 pm

Thanks Valerie. I'll make it tomorrow and hide it real fast, before my taste buds know it's around.
