Old Fashioned Fudge Howto

[@marshagreenwood6825]

God Bless You!! Thank you! My mom made this fudge for me as a child and for my children. She passed away in 2010 and I have been searching for this recipe ever since. I’m going to make it this weekend for my children and grandchildren. Thank you for sharing. Peace and love be with you.

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Thank you and same to you!

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

August 2020......I have made this over and over last few weeks. I love this NO NEED to cool in sink of water. Creamy delish. In fact I have boiled this on 4 on my knob and made this single batch in 15 minutes.....start to finish. It got to softball stage soooo fast an I kept lightly stirring. Add butter vanilla nuts and immediately off burner stir 3 minutes an pour. Set up beautiful. I was shocked how fast so I remade few days later. Again perfect. Stays shiny as you see as she pours it. So no more boiling for 30 minutes for me. I can make on the fly. Love this new old fashion fudge.

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

This makes me happy! So glad you enjoy the recipe

[@motecarlo1286]

It’s all thanks to the corn syrup! :)

[@Cynthia00007]

corn syrup is high fructose

[@writermillhouse]

December 2024: I’ve been making this recipe since 2019. I always wished my mom would have given me her recipe before she passed, this is spot on like she made when I was a kid. I’ve even used this recipe for peanut butter fudge too.

My grandmother made this fudge and I would stand by the stove while she was making it. She would test a tiny bit into a cup of water to see if it was ready. I miss her so much and I miss that fudge too. Maybe I will try to make it some day. Thank you for showing this video.

Feb 2020....girl I made this today and it worked just like you show. I did not stress over sugar crystals on sides. Did not clean sides, or butter sides. My gas stove was on number 3 dial. I started mixing at 10:55 and was completed an pored in pan at 11:30. Wow I was amazed. Started beating right on stove about 5 minutes. Slightly thickened some but still runny an I poured out. So scared it was not ready but it’s fine. Can’t wait to eat it........Texas thanks u. Hope this is helpful.

[@stevefrenchpug]

Jeannine's Craft Room I️ keep burning it. Do you stir constantly?

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Madison Freeman you do have to keep stirring it until the sugar melts completely and the mixture starts bubbling. Then only occassionally after that. It sounds like you have unresolved sugar sticking to the bottom of the pot or your pot us not a heavy enough aluminum or it's cooking to a higher heat than necessary. Any one of these can cause the fudge to burn. Light weight pots do not conduct heat the same way heavier ones do. Working in the right pot really helps.

[@Mollie45]

MissChris5, I agree!! I love the hard fudge. My mom is 89y/o and tries to TELL me how to do it, but I need to watch her, over the yrs it’s been a hit and miss turn out, sometimes we get it and sometimes a flop. My grandma use to make it a lot for a surprise, “Come get the fudge kids” ohhh what a treat! My sister use to make it too, but the Way to do it is always in their head. I give up, Turing to KZbin... so far this looks like the closest to my Grandma’s recipe. We’d always make it in a cast iron skillet though, with the hard ball test. So after watching several channels I think I’m ready to make that perfect batch. The best was when Grandma would put peanut butter in it. Yummy yummy. She would also do marshmallows, walnuts and just heard my Mom say that Grandma would put raisins in it so it might be a little healthier, lol lol. Thank you sharing your Grandma’s recipe. 👍👍👍👍❤️ Merry Christmas 2019

[@jamiecronin967]

The amount of work it takes to beat the fudge is too much. It is the reason I stopped making fudge.

[@rosehageman8284]

My grandmother made fudge at every holiday. She was going to teach me how to make it, but never did due to us living in different cities. This was a very easy to understand video. We will see how mine turns out once it is cooled.

[@rosehageman8284]

Well, I did something wrong. It is more of a taffy like consistency. Any thoughts?

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Rose Briar Yes, I've had this happen as well. You didn't get it hit enough. When this happens you can put it back in the pot and heat it back up. Sometimes you have to heat it a little past the soft ball stage if you're having a humid or warm day. I've had to out many batches back in the pot to reheat it. Just add a little milk to help the fudge melt again. Good luck!!

Thanks for this great recipe Jeannine. Your instructions are the best. I live in a very dry climate so I decided to boil to just under the soft ball stage. It turned out perfect. … just like my mom used to make 😊

[@sunshinegirl1967]

My mom who passed away a few yrs ago used to make fudge from a recipe book from the 50's. It was called 5 minute fudge for the girls. I remember it had Hershey's cocoa, evaporated milk and 16 marshmallows, and sugar of course. But it didn't have Karo that I recall. Anyway I just LOVED her version of fudge and it always set up. It was slick as glass and had a crunchy sugary texture (because she scraped the sides of the bowl as she stirred) and it was slick as glass on the top. It shined like it was an ice skating rink. That's the fudge I love the best. But I will try it your way without the Karo or the marshmallows and see if it sets up. I've made it at least 4 different times and it never did set up like hers did. After she put in the marshmallows, it almost set up too quickly!

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

sunshinegirl1967 It sounds to me like the fudge your mom made was more like "fantasy fudge". It's pretty easy to make and almost always sets up properly. You might try searching for that recipe also. Good luck!!

[@sunshinegirl1967]

It stays glossy. Pretty and yummy. You only one I seen online that cuts center both width and length. Only way to get pieces closely the same. Great job. My Mom made one similar but no Karo syrup. She would beat that fudge for long time. I think the syrup makes big difference. Can't wait to make this.

[@angels12a]

This almost sounds like what my dad used to make...he called it candy. Only he poured it on a buttered plate, very thin layer and sometimes set it outside to cool (in winter that is). I can't remember if he sliced it or broke it up into pieces. It was so good! He passed away before I could get the recipe. :(

My grandmother never used corn syrup in her boiled sugar fudge. These types of fudge for me is the best in the world because I grew up with a grandmother making it. My mother even made a pan one night and it set so hard that we would chipping it off in the kitchen eating it and then laughing. I wouldn't be quite so rude or angry sounding about marshmallow fudge it just isn't my thing.:-)

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

What a great memory ❣️. Thank you for sharing it.

[@lpthomp1956]

I have been making this recipe (except I use milk and cream instead of evaporated milk for my Mom's old-fashioned fudge all my adult life (a very long time ;) ). I never could understand why my fudge wouldn't set up without becoming too hard. The consistency is beautifully smooth but always barely underdone even though I cook to the soft ball stage. I think you have solved my dilemma with the increase in temp due to our very humid SC weather and maybe the use of evaporated milk rather than regular. Thank you, thank you! Any other suggestions for refining? (I haul the heavy cast iron skillet to the bathtub to bring down temp to 110 degrees before stirring and not a moment before after it starts boiling. Then, I beat for 7-10 min. until it loses its shine. Am I making this harder than it needs to be??

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Hello and thank you for watching! I don't think you're over complicating things. I watched my grandmother stir the fudge for sooooo long until it cooled off and started to thicken. Her fudge was somewhat creamier and smoother than mine, but overall, the flavor and hardness is the same. When I'm making fudge, it's usually during the holidays and I'm making several double batches. I just don't have the time and strength for all of the stirring, so I stir for a bit and pour. It works for me. The only other tip I can give you is one I saw my grandmother use when her strength started to fail her. She used a hand mixer to do the stirring. It cooled the fudge faster and she was able to drop it sooner. But to do this, you really need a good feel for when your fudge is ready, it could set up too quickly on you. Hope this helps!

[@luvjesuslee2033]

[@michaellamasters7007]

That's funny...we didn't have a candy thermometer back in the day when my mom made fudge

[@jennifer7a6]

I noticed the color in my fudge went from a light brown to a darker shiny brown about 10 degees before soft ball. I still cooked to 5 over soft ball since I’m in Florida. I’ve never made fudge or eaten it. I’m afraid I may have burned it. Should I have water tested it once I noticed the color dramatically change or is that normal?

[@vanessawebber235]

Hi Jeanine, I am so excited to have this recipe. I made it at Christmastime and it was wonderful. I'm wondering how I might turn this into a chocolate peanut butter version then also a rocky road version. Two of our family favorites. Thanks so much for your recipe!!

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

I would just add the peanut butter or other ingredients after you take the fudge off of the stove and before you pour it in the pan. Another option would be to put your Rocky road toppings in the bottom of the pan and gently pour your fudge over it. I tried a salted caramel version this past Christmas. I melted caramels and a little milk in the microwave and swirled it on top if my hot fudge that I had poured in the pan. Then I sprinkled a little sea salt on top. I really like your Rocky road idea. Let me know how it turns out. :)

Hi, what could I substitute Karo corn syrup for? I don’t think we have such a thing in the UK

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

You could use honey instead of the corn syrup and still achieve the same result. Great question!

@@JeanninesCraftroom Thank you Jeannine! Made these as part of some Christmas hampers and were fantastically delicious. Merry Christmas

*This hard fudge is the best! But, using a 1/2 cup of Hershey cocoa tastes great, too. Saves a little money!*

Looks like so tasty .. But if i need it without chocolate powder and pecans what I do.? Thank you so much mam I'm from Saudi arabia

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

You can make it without pecans but I don't know of a substitution for the cocoa powder. Sorry I couldn't be more help
