How to Make Old Fashioned Butterscotch Fudge

[@jamyeryan5568]

For an easier butterscotch fudge or in Spanish " leche que mada" literally translated," burnt milk". Use butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips from the earlier three ingredients fudge. I always add nuts because I love nuts. My father would make a big pot of fudge,from scratch on the first cold day here in San Antonio,he'd open all the windows in the house,let the cold air blow through,make the fudge,put it on our little screen porch to cool and the he'd cut it and we'd all dive in! I used to make the from scratch fudge before but it is so much work,standing,stiring and he taught me to check the stage by using a room temperature glass of water,you just take a little on your spoon,drop it in the water,when it forms a soft ball,it's at the softball stage, if you wanted hard ball then you do the same and it'll form a hard ball or a stiff string in the water. What fun it is!

This is a great, old-fashioned recipe. This is going on my Christmas cookie gift trays. While it's still warm in the pan; I sprinkle Heath Bar toffee bits on top. Also, finely chopped pecans.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks!! And that is awesome!

[@lumenesque1]

Thank you! I often look for 'Traditional' fudge recipes as I cannot often find, or have the skill / patience to make from scratch, condensed milk. Will definitely be giving this recipe a bash!!

I think I'm going to try making that with the buttered rum you know that ought to be good in there with that fudge

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Go for it!!

[@Planetgreenzen]

My favourite!!!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!!

[@mjkay8660]

Oh good I'm glad I know how to make it grainy that's how mom used to make it

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yup grainy is easier than making it smooth. And if you store it in the fridge it brings out a bit more moisture and makes it graining. For example this batch was smooth and creamy at first, but I stored it in the fridge, now it has that more traditional (British) grainy taste which is nice too.

Hell yeah Matt 🤜

Thanks!!

Hi Matt 😊 Seems like ages since you've been on. I don't get notified of new videos from you 😞 I'm wondering if I can use Coconut Oil instead of butter? That's all I use for everything, for at least a decade, closer to two.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi there! I haven't gone anywhere. If you go to my channel and click "videos" you will see them all :). Coconut oil may work for this, you will just have to try it.

[@maxineb9598]

​@@inthekitchenwithmatt Coconut oil changes the taste of whatever it is used for. One of the main components of anything butterscotch is of course the butter.

[@D71sj]

Can I use condensed milk instead of evaporated?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No, not for this particular one. If all you have is condensed try this other butterscotch fudge recipe which is specifically meant for sweetened condensed milk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGfCpIl9bc54eNE

[@sandyseas8355]

Just curious! Is your knife a Wearever? I had a complete set years ago n loved them. Made of bowling ball material. My daughter talked me out of them.😭

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No it is a Cutco :)

[@maxduong4537]

If you don’t have a thermometer, you can use the cold water test to see if your fudge is at the correct stage. But I figure that it takes a little longer than if you were to use a thermometer. Another idea I am thinking of is once you know that that is how long it took for your fudge to come up to the correct stage, the next time you make it, you can try to time it with your timer without the use a thermometer & see if that works for you if you don’t want to use one & if it works, then you won’t need to break out your thermometer anymore as long as you remember how long it takes for your fudge to get up to the soft ball stage. I hope that also works too but only if you have had experience for a long time making this fudge.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes you can try the cold water test for sure.

[@Huckerdoo_doodle]

Is this a fudge or just a butterscotch candy?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

It is a fudge :)

[@grobnermer]

I find it amazing you use the same picture for the thumbnail 9 years later

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

huh? nope the picture of that fudge is only a few weeks old. That picture of me is like a year old. Besides that, why do you care? it literally has nothing to do with the recipe. Stop being critical and learn something.

[@limkimguek1006]

😋😋😋🍬🍬🍬👍😂👏👋

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

thank you!!

[@guyastore7270]

why do all chefs pack the brown sugar only to spread it around after putting it in the mixing bowl

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Because that is how brown sugar is measured. It is packed in the measuring cup.

[@MarLindaPerez-s1i]

Oh PLEASE! Not another great recipe!🙄 It looks yummy, I'll have to try it, thank you. By the way, first time I ever saw you with a mustache and beard, very becoming young man.🥰

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks!!

[@cm9044-b7j]

The recipe says vanilla but you added molasses? That seems like an odd combination for butterscotch fudge...

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

The recipe has both vanilla and molasses. Not an odd combination at all. :)
