The Best Fudge Recipe

When I say this is the best fudge recipe, I mean it! This recipe is from someone that my mom used to babysit for, and they gave her the recipe when she asked. It easily turned into the “Christmas fudge” that I grew up to know and love! This fudge is different than traditional fudge because it has much more depth of flavor than “normal” fudge. Most fudge recipes I have seen include Chocolate Chips and Condensed Milk, maybe butter, then additions like nuts. You heat it up and then throw it in a pan. Our recipe includes a few more ingredients, making it a deeper, richer flavor than just reheated chocolate chips. I really can’t eat other fudge recipes because they are either too sweet, too bland, or too crumbly.

Fudge recipe with no candy Thermometer

I know what you’re thinking “madison do I need a candy thermometer?” NO! That is the best part! While you will be boiling, there is no candy thermometer needed! I promise that this will be the richest, creamiest, chocolaty-ist, the best fudge you ever had!

Recipe Tips & Tricks

Use semi-sweet chocolate chips! I love semi-sweet chocolate chips in all my baking because it is the perfect not-too-sweet chocolate!

Make sure you have a LARGE bowl, this fudge will up a 9×13 pan, so make sure you have a bowl big enough to fit all the ingredients

Prepare the ingredients in the bowl before heating up the milk and sugar. The milk and sugar will be boiling and need to be poured over the rest of the ingredients ASAP. The last thing you want to do is have boiling sugar while you are trying to get marshmallow fluff out of the jar. trust me I’ve been there

What’s the difference between a boil and a “rolling boil???” A rolling boil is a vigorous state of maintained boiling in which large bubbles erupt continuously on the surface of the liquid and cannot be disrupted by stirring or adding ingredients. … So the boil should be maintained with bubbles constantly, even when stirring.
