The Easiest Homemade Fudge Guide (3 Ways)

There really isn't much to say about fudge other than it's chocolate, chewy, and delicious. However, for this holiday season let's make it three different ways but also elevate it a bit and fancier - say "chocolatier" version if you will.

Tip for the coconut oil flavor: use refined coconut oil instead of virgin. Doesn't taste like coconut.

[@russ1422]

@@RandomPerson-pg6cw That should be fine. It will affect the texture and flavor of course, but it should still be great.

[@S3lvah]

Yeah - I use virgin coconut oil when I actually want to add a hint of coconut to something (or the product is so potent you can't taste the coconut over it). An example would be a refreshing coconutty cocoa drink (with coconut oil instead of the cocoa butter you'd get if using chocolate instead of cocoa powder).

[@alexhansen6126]

@@RandomPerson-pg6cw how much butter did you use? I’m planning on making this as well, but I don’t have coconut oil either.

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

I don't mind the taste personally.

[@cornflake889]

@@RandomPerson-pg6cw The reason you use coconut oil is mostly bc it is solid at room temp and melts below it, so it may melt a little faster and be a little messier with butter. As long as you eat it and then put it back in the cold rather quickly i assume it should work fine

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Yeah, I'm using a dating app at the moment and was shocked that though I'm listed as being an omnivore on my profile, a woman who is vegan gave me a 'like'. Except for her being vegan and a little aggressive about being herself on her profile, I decided she matched up pretty well with what I was seeking (she cleared my list of non-negotiables) and sent a message. Sometimes people give a like though as a placeholder for if they might later want to send a message to you, which is rather cruel to get someone's hopes up like that. Also, I get lots of likes from people who clearly haven't read my profile because what I'm seeking and what they've written down don't mesh at all (it feels like a bot might be doing it). So, to make sure she was a real person who'd read my profile, I pointed out that I was an omnivore and as she's currently big on going to the gym and I'm just...big (lol), I wanted to ensure she was okay with that. She responded to the tune of "I am, but as long as you know there's no way to humanely kill animals and that eating meat is more likely to give you cancer, you're fine with me." I...I mean...I guess? 😅. I don't want to change anyone and neither does she, but I have a feeling the veganism is going to crop up in other ways and maybe become a bother, lol. Like silently being judged, haha. We shall see. Edit: Not even 24 hours later and I see it's not going to work out. A blend of self-righteousness and then sprinkled with just enough niceness to cut through the acid, makes for a dangerous combination. I had asked the simple question of if her family has any issues making meals for her during the holidays and got the response of "Everyone caters to my diet. Everyone. But since it's just real food minus the blood and feces, nobody minds it." Jesus, I can't with this woman 😑. I'm the gentle, easy going, goofy kind of person. Opposites can attract and I don't mind having a partner that pushes me but wow...below, the word "sanctimonious" was used and I'm going to now agree with that for this person. She's the walking cliche of vegans that we all hear about, but I had thought was a myth. For those who are vegan who aren't like this (like trying to sneakily guilt trip others for not following their food standards), sorry you guys have another one like her in your midst. Now how to end things without being too obvious as to why, lol. Think I'll play the silent game and see what comes of that. She mentioned she has a date with someone later this week (totally fine, I'm still entertaining other options as well), and they can have her :/ I don't want to have to walk on eggshells around my partner to avoid getting a daily lecture everytime I eat.

[@ThesmartestTem]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley she sounds kinda sanctimonious about it. Buuuut I will say that I'm a die hard meat lover married to a vegetarian and we've been together for 15 years. So it can work. :)

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

[@ThesmartestTem]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Typically I only cook meat for myself and the kids a couple times a week and when I do I just go plentiful on the veggie sides and he's happy. The rest of the week we eat vegetarian meals. There are actually a lot of great vegetarian/vegan recipes that won't have you missing meat at all. :) very hearty and filling. Also look to the cuisine of countries that don't eat a ton of meat. Curries and Indian dishes are a staple in our house. On that note, pressure cookers are great for curry.

[@leilamanchino]

For Christmas last year my mom and I made pretty much the same recipe as the first fudge in the video ( but we did it in the microwave since it was our first time) and we added crushed peppermint on top. It was SOOOO good 🤤❤️

[@exterminateexterminate9751]

Didn’t ask

[@StArFuRyZz]

I use the recipe on the back of the marshmallow fluff jar. The only changes I make is adding a dollop of corn syrup and not mixing in the chocolate/marshmallow/vanilla until the boiled sugar/butter/milk gets down to around 120F. Learned that from Alton Brown. Super easy to make and very tasty.

My mom makes a five-minute microwave that's actually pretty good. Just melt two bags of chocolate chips in the microwave with a can of condensed milk, stirring every minute or so. Once melted and evenly stirred, spread in a 9x13 pan and let it cool before cutting. You can add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or mini marshmallows.

Honestly, that first super easy recipe has been my go-to for years, and people go crazy for it.

[@Snake-filledChimp]

@@rafaellavergne686 Was just about to drop this same comment... Joshua likes his fancy, expensive, super hard steel Japanese knives. The steel on these knives is very hard, which makes it very brittle as well. They are built for pure cutting performance, so the blade edge is sharpened to a very narrow angle (around 15 degrees typically), and the hard steel stops that thin, super-sharp edge from rolling over and blunting easily, improving edge retention drastically. These knives will effortlessly glide through vegetables and meats and such, but anything hard itself can easily chip that thin, brittle edge. Western style knives typically use softer steels and a wider edge angle (around 20 degrees), and so while the knife will not cut as effortlessly and will require more frequent honing and sharpening, the edge will almost never chip, but will instead bend a little if at all (much easier to fix than a chip), and will be much more durable overall. Joshua should have broken out an old beater knife for this job instead of being Mr. Fancypants.
