[@marciaanderson3954]

My brother makes this for me every year I LOVE IT !! OLD FASHION FUDGE !! YUMMY

[@pamelamurphy7782]

My grandmother used to make it with black walnuts that was my favorite she always made the best

[@BeeSimm1]

Yes, my older sister would make this fudge when we were growing up with black walnuts in it because we had a tree in our yard. There was only one pan that she used because it was a heavier pan. I still remember her buttering up a platter. So good.

Nom nom! Tis the season for all things indulgent! 😊

Looks so good Tammy.

[@BeeKay4444]

Hi Tammy! I made your butter toffee tonight….my very first time making a candy of any kind. It came out pretty good. A bit chewy…did I not boil it long enough maybe? It does taste absolutely amazing and I’m pretty proud of myself for not wrecking it. Haha. I watched this video 3 times before trying it. Thank you for helping me make a beautiful Christmas candy to give as gifts.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It needed to be cooked a little longer to be more crunchy

[@spoetryqueen]

I haven't made any candy yet because I don't have a heavy duty pot. But one is coming and I will be making your recipes for praline and toffee.

Yummy fudge! I love anything with chocolate and peanut butter

[@donnarichey144]

The last time I made fudge I timed it cooking and it was 18 minutes on my stove top. Almonds are harmful to dogs. Cause digestion and tummy issues. I always google before giving my dog anything. I love your hair.

Great video. It's like I'm sitting right there with you. I haven't made home made fudge in years, but watching you was easier than reading a recipe. I'm going to try and make it for our family snack time on Christmas eve. I miss watching my Mama make it. Thank you Tammy. Wishing you and Chris and all your family a very Merry CHRISTmas!

[@jbf331]

The dogs in the kitchen while cooking would drive me crazy 🤣, and yes I'm sure you are use to it. 😞

[@pagemcpherson2485]

who else gasped when she put that pot in the sink with all that leftover chocolate goodness! i live by "no drop left behind" LOL Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you Tammy

[@lindafoster3853]

I made your recipe for peanut brittle. I didn't use a candy thermometer and it turned out perfect, just by watching the color. Thank you it was the easiest I've e er made in my 73 years.❤️

That is wonderful! Glad I could help.

My mother made Mary Ball fudge which has to be cooked and it was so smooth and delicious! Yours looks rather crumbly, but perhaps that's the way it's supposed to be. TFS and Merry Christmas to you and Chris!

[@charlenegrady8781]

Hope you feel better soon Chris. Tammy thank you for sharing these recipes. I make old fashioned fudge too and it is similar to yours. Everyone loves fudge. We love you Tammy. Chris too🥰. Take care from Cape Cod🇺🇸🎄

The toffee is my fav also!!

[@Rebecca-wm3jr]

My Dad was the official fudge maker in our house when I was a little girl and he made it exactly as you do except he wouod beat it for a while with the back of a metal spoon. He made it once a year during the Christmas holidays...such sweet memories. ❤

[@sylviaahensley]

My Mom made the old fashioned fudge so so good

[@autoharpangie3303]

I love your peanut brittle, and fudge. I’m baking All my Christmas Cookies this week going to make Fudge and The peanut Brittle. Love ya ❤

[@pamelamurphy7782]

My mom that recipe every time and she used a cast iron skillet I guess you thought it'd make it thinner so would be easier to stir till it wasn't trying anymore sometimes it was a family project dad had to finish it off she couldn't stand anymore

[@lanettemartindale3967]

Mom added peanut butter to hers.

[@jabez9710]

I was watching you smash the nuts. My Momma used to put her pecans, walnuts, etc in a clean kitchen towel wrap them up and use the side of Daddy’s hammer to smash hers. We in the South used what we had. Great memories ❤

[@lisabyers9075]

Can you double fudge recipes

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Yes

[@patsymccown2766]

I don’t make candy anymore, and I don’t eat candy very often! But, this was nostalgic and very fun to watch!! Merry Christmas!!

[@henrycooks1883]

I have your toffee on my to do list this week, I looooooove toffee and yours always looks so good. Don’t depend on the thermal for accuracy, I use it to see how close it’s getting, double check with instant or candy thermometer for accuracy. Your brave to do these candies on a live. My grandmother put a tablespoon of corn syrup in her old fashioned fudge she swore it prevents crystallization.

[@susandavis1205]

Looks good

[@GennyGuidry]

Hi Tammy yes we did when I was little girl. But I have made the old fashion fudge. Your fudge looks so delicious 😋 ❤❤

That’s the kind I like to make, my mom made it that way.

[@shirleywine714]

The taste sure is what matters, thanks Tammy

[@RAM-eb2te]

❤❤❤ Grew up learning to make great candy. Still prefer great homemade candy! Been teaching next generation last few years! 😊

[@jodybruch829]

My grandfather made Hersheys cocoa fudge every year for Christmas and there were a few batches that were crystallized but the flavor was still good. When he passed my mom and I took to making the fudge in his memory. One year I don’t know what we did but it turned to caramel!! Mom wrapped little bite sized pieces in wax paper and tossed them in a tin. They were yummy too. Wonderful memories.

[@diannedutton6127]

That's the only fudge there is in my book.vmy mama always made it, especially at Christmas. It is so good!

[@Tricia1969]

I used to make the fudge growing up. I did't know about the sugar crystals, so it often turned out hard. I haven't tried to make it in years. Now a days I make peanut butter fudge by boiling it to a soft ball stage. I've perfected it so that it is creamy and delicious.

[@truecrimeJunkie777]

My mom Said her favorite was chocolate almond icecream I’ll have to try it and thanks going to make fudge now😊😊😊

[@katherynkennedy5881]

Love a good fruitcake. My friend said she will buy me one, lol.

[@Tonytherf]

Hey Tammy, I hear ya on your butter toffee. It's my favorite candy too. And your chocolate fudge is right on the money. I like it with a lot of cocoa. 😋

[@carlastephens8053]

When I was young and my girlfriends had a slumber party and one of the girls decided she would make some fudge😂. This was before the marshmallow fudge started😂😂. It was so hard it was like ROCKS😂😂😂. I’m going to make some this year and hopefully not have rocks👍🏼. Love your recipes and channel🙏🏼💗

[@debraknott729]

You should try to make Scottish Tablet, its delicious!

[@lisagrafton2529]

My mom had 9 children and never had the patients for candies like fudge. One year it wouldn't set up; and the next, it would be hard and like you described, sugar crystals were very noticeable! She made most of our Christmas gifts and laid out the most beautiful Christmas table for our family and both grandparents, an aunt who lived her entire life on my dad's family farm, and my great grandma, aka Nanny, who my mom took in, after she broke a hip, and she lived with us, and thrived, until we moved from eastern MI, to Eastern upstate NY. Her sons moved her to a nursing home, where she died within a couple years, going from healthy and participating in family events, to drugged and cussing, when she never cussed in her life! I digress. We didn't have much, but Christmas was made so special. She would make styrofoam trees covered in olives and crab apples, everything was fancy and we all dressed up in velvet dresses mom made for us! This was in the late 60s and 70s! Mom is 85 now, and all 9 children are still alive, three live in northern IN, where mom moved, a few years after my dear dad died way too early, from complications after gall bladder surgery. They both left us with the best family memories, we still talk about today! Many memories are based around special recipes!!

My grandmother made it and it turned out gritty, but soft and she didn’t put peanut butter in or anything

[@joycemiraglia280]

✍Hello Tammy and Chris and fur babies🐾🐾🐾 I plan on making the Peanut Brittle, Toffee and maybe the Fudge. I've still not recovered from my Cancer surgery and Heart Attack but I've been praying for strength🙏 I did get my large Manger put up on top of my entertainment center which is about 45-50 inches long. My mom and dad made it for me and my husband 61 years ago. The main piece of the manger is like a very small dog house but just a back and left side and an opening like a door casing and everything else is open. I wish I knew how to send a picture to you cause its really nice and probably will be all I can physically be able to put up. I'm going to try to put my small tree up but not sure. Tell Chris I hope he'll be feeling better soon. Tammy, when I had Shingles just a few years ago it was probably just like yours...just a light case of them. Everybody is different with the Shingles can be very light to severe. I'm just glad yours wasn't like my friends that I told you about. Hers was also on her back but it was a severe case and 4 years later has got permanent nerve damage from them. So you and I are the lucky ones. Well Good Night😴 Enjoyed you sharing the making of Christmas Candy for us...yum God Bless LuvYa! Bye from NE Ohio🌹🎄❄⛄

[@Sandy-gj1wk]

Yes, my mama made the old-fashioned fudge and it was delicious. She made chocolate and peanut butter.

Diamond Smokehouse Almonds😋. The closest I've ever come to homemade fudge was a kit I got at Walmart. 😂 I also love toffee. These look incredible!❤

We pulled taffy when I was a youngster. Remember it being very buttery 'cause you had to keep your hands buttered. Great cardio!😂

Momma’s old fashion fudge was nothing like this . Momma used 3 cups of sugar, 2/3 c cocoa and mix well in a heavy bottom saucepan. Add 2/3 cup of milk and stir constantly until it has a rolling boil . Do not stir anymore. Butter a 8x8 pan , get 1/2 stick of butter/margarine ready and 2 tsp vanilla. I cook mine 18 minutes, remove from heat stir a few minutes, add butter and vanilla, pour into your buttered pan . Let sit for 30 minutes, check to see if you can cut into squares. I get 36 pieces of fudge per batch. Momma’s peanut butter fudge was easy and delicious too. These looks delicious. Love ya! ❤I’m making that Butter Toffee. Yum!!!

Hi Tammy, it's Dianna from Toledo, Ohio. My mother made the fudge the same way you're doing it but she used a cast iron skillet and when she made it she had already a pre buttered platter waiting to pour the fudge onto and hers was not a chewy creamy fudge it was more a hard crunch fudge crunch is not the right word but we loved it and that's the only kind of fudge I like I don't like the soft fudge is nasty can you please make your fudge but make it hard
