I first had it in 1955.

Been looking for this exact recipe for a while. My favorite fudge from childhood. Thank you.

So glad to see someone make this fudge and follow the rule about stirring. So many "chefs" out there with their YT shows doing it wrong. I use half and half and it comes out more creamy.

This recipe makes great fudge but as Dee says you have to follow the instructions exactly. Thank you Dee for showing us how it is done!

"Some of you weren't even around in the 70s or 80s. How sad is that?". lol! Subscribed

[@dianewetterow7466]

Can’t wait to make this! Reminds me of how fudge was made in my childhood. Deelicious!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@DeesDelightsTonyasTastyTidbits]

Yes. It's a recipe that was popular in the 70's and 80's. My favorite years!

[@claudiajohnson2585]

Had it in the 40s my Mama made it and divinity and they always came out perfect!

[@Mkinmvs2]

So easy to follow. Thanks!!

I was born in 1952 & my sister in 1954. Mom would make this at Christmas. Dad called it "candy" not fudge. Remember Mom stirring like crazy. She would peanut butter too.

[@carlasoutherland4687]

My favorite kind of fudge.

[@missrose0077]

I make old fashioned fudge every Christmas just like my mother and grandmother and there has never been a time that I didn't have to throw at least one or two batches out because they were too gritty, hard as a rock or too soft. I've used this recipe and method twice and both batches came out perfect! I have to make two more batches this week and I'm sure they will be perfect too because now I know...😁🎅

[@missrose0077]

Batch #3 is even more perfect than the first 2 and I wish I could share a photo. It's the perfect firmness that melts in your mouth, perfect taste with a perfect shine on the top. Can't wait for everyone to try it Christmas Eve. 💯

Thank you

My mom was making this in the 50s. I was born in 61 and it was only fudge she ever made

[@jchiliw]

Looked so good! I remember that fudge. I had a girlfriend in the 70's that made it. She was diabetic and I would have to take most of it away from her. I remember it being very smooth with a nice bite.

[@DeesDelightsTonyasTastyTidbits]

It is good. So sad she couldn't keep it.

[@carolweber573]

What temperature did you use?

[@carolweber573]

I was born in 1950 and I remember my mom making it.

[@malenfantnancee8290]

I loved your video you did not take 20 min telling stories lol waiting on mine to cool down now. Hope it turns out :)

[@carolweber573]

Should we stir until it reaches 234 degrees?

[@DeesDelightsTonyasTastyTidbits]

Oh my goodness, I recorded this video 3 years ago. Let me see. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil. (that took about 7 minutes) now continue boiling, WITHOUT stirring, until it comes to 234 degrees. That took about another 7 minutes. I hope this helps.

[@angelhawkins4162]

Can I make the fudge with no butter

[@DeesDelightsTonyasTastyTidbits]

I have never tried that.

[@carolweber573]

Can we use 1/2 and 1/2?!

[@DeesDelightsTonyasTastyTidbits]

I haven't tried it with half n half. Let me know if it turns out okay.

[@sharonjackson1216]

Actually, my mom made this fudge in the 60's.
