This was may Dad's favorite kind of fudge. Quick and Easy. He made it so many times he didn't even need the old water temp trick. It was HIS too, we didn't get any till he had what he wanted..! Miss you dad!

My favorite fudge ever! Great video, quick and thorough!

[@dab7271]

I made this and it turned out great! I used half a stick of butter and measured 25 grams cocoa powder (one fourth cup) with a kitchen scale.8 heated to 238 on the candy thermometer and beat for about a minute and a half. After beating I added marshmallows and almonds immediately before pouring into the pan for a Rocky road fudge!

Yummy fudge. I will definitely try this recipe and add some variations to the chocolate also such as chopped unsalted nuts to make fudge with nuts, and/or peppermint extract or peppermint oil to make mint fudge

[@loismackenzie7715]

This is exactly the way old fashioned chocolate fudge should look like...and it's not gritty or overcooked. Don't knock it till you try it first. It's supposed to have a firm texture. Make it just the way it tells you to and you will love it.

Can you use heavy cream instead of milk?

[@seemtobeasecret]

Mine is not harden even i wait until 237F. I even put in inside the chiller but still soft. Whyy

[@mikewright9637]

Like 😢✝️🇱🇰

[@ember4940]

Hmmm... mine never thickens enough, it is the consistency of honey... what could I be doing wrong?

[@timcooper7845]

Cook just a little longer.

[@vegasmandie6398]

You did it wrong, your supposed to add the butter and vanilla after the boil

[@traveltimes4109]

I noticed that, but it still turned out the correct consistency, so apparently there is more than one way to successfully make this!

[@vegasmandie6398]

It was just an FYI, if you add the vanilla prior to cooking, you cook away the vanilla, because vanilla extract is alcohol and vanilla bean also adding the butter prior to cooking huge chance a gritty consistency, again just an FYI much love

[@traveltimes4109]

@@vegasmandie6398 Agree, not sure what it was actually like if it was gritty or not, it just looked to have the right consistency. I made the mistake one time of adding vanilla while making a cooked custard on the stove, not supposed to be added till after cooked, it never thickened like it was supposed to. Technique and timing is everything 👍🏻😊

[@wandayarbrough]

Looks gritty

[@estiiim]

@@Mack-bc4qo right! Now we know to do it "wrong" so it'll taste better 🤤

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

That looks a bit overdone. You have to watch it with fudge: undercooked it won't harden (it's still good on ice cream, though); overcooked it becomes chocolate concrete.
