Quick & Easy Vanilla Nut Fudge!! Noreen's Kitchen

Greetings! On the day that I made this video it was exactly one week till Christmas day. I know that some of you may be thinking that you need to get on the ball and get some gifts made to give out to teachers, friends, neighbors, co workers, etc. I also know that some of you may short on funds and short on time and may be wondering how you are going to get it all done.
I am here to help! Vanilla nut fudge is the perfect quick and easy gift to make and give. You can make this in small foil pans or in a large cake pan and cut it into small pieces. I love the idea of giving it in the pan you pour it in that way it's just pop a bow and a tag on that puppy and give it with gusto!
This fudge is very similar to the famous See's Candies vanilla nut fudge that may not be in your budget this holiday. You can enjoy it nonetheless with this version. This is quick and easy and uses accessible ingredients that are easy to find. This really has four ingredients and is super delicious! White chocolate, butter, sweetened condensed milk a little salt and some extract. I used vanilla nut extract, but you could use maple, vanilla or almond. I have also used walnuts, but if you prefer pecans, then go for it!
I hope that this helps give you some idea of how you can get several gifts together in a flash and make people super happy with the holiday spirit this season!
I hope you try this vanilla nut fudge and I hope you love it!
Happy Holidays!

I love vanilla nut fudge and when we go to fairs or craft shows where they make the fudge my mom an I always get some. I would like to make a batch of this for my mom and bring some to my nephew's birthday party. I would prefer pecans being from Louisiana we love our pecans. Thank you for sharing this. I will be making some soon even it's not Christmas time. Thanks, Stacy.

[@barbie11980]

wow Noreen, This is Temptation to the max. I will try it this weekend.

[@catworldpeace]

I love all your recipes thank you so much. Much appreciated.

[@Icehippieviking1001]

I love it! Also, I've used margarine and different flavors of chips and it comes out delicious. Very versatile! Thanks for posting!

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

+Carla T I prefer butter and never use margarine because I consider it to be poison. Research will show that margarine is so highly processed that it is literally just a few ingredients shy of being considered plastic. The only think I use besides butter is a coconut oil spread that is organic and all natural, however that cannot be used in this recipe.

[@deborahbrown6257]

Looks wonderful and easy!

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

+deborah brown I am all about easy! Especially during this time of year!

[@allilav1265]

I saw this video and I actually did it! It was so easy! I made the holiday pretzle chocolate bark too! Made it for gifts too and got lots of complements. I made one with walnuts and one without walnuts but added coconut. Yummo thanks noreen

[@silverwolfcreek]

Thanks for the recipe. Needed a quick treat for work and this is it.

[@cityofdestiny9039]

This looks absolutely amazing! I don't care for chocolate, so this fudge is perfect for someone (like me) who loves this type of treat! Do you also have a recipe for maple fudge? Cheers and happy holidays!

[@BethyKable]

Looks wonderful and easy....yummy stuff !

[@lindalewis5068]

Look yummy I love white chocolate

[@rubynelson8274]

For those of you who just found this fantastic recipe- I find that putting the fudge in the fridge to cool and then freezing it makes it come out creamy and firm. You can stock pile packages in the freezer to wrap and give away for gifts.

[@Monicasdestiny]

I think I can actually make this fudge… I have been intimidated by the process on other recipes. Thanks Noreen!

[@rosemarypetrongelli1384]

[@laurac56]

I make one like this but it calls for nuts and dried cranberries. Since my kids don't like nuts, I double the craisins. Dear Lord! This is sugar crack! and well-loved.

[@nachttress9982]

wow this looks great I did try one batch of fudge the other day before you posted this did not turn out at all so I am working on cookies I will how ever try this and see how it turns out thank you so very much Merry Christmas Noreen Rick and family

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Wonderful gift idea! Thank you for sharing yet another winner! :o) Merry Christmas!

[@maleesaparadis9889]

Yum, looks great Noreen. Thanks for sharing.

[@kathyjotourtois]

fantastic Noreen, thank you n have a great night !!!

[@NoOdbGirl1]

super easy, looks yummy !

[@janiedee7388]

Such a nice change from normal fudge. Would you have any idea or a recipe for See's Bordeaux fudge? I thought if anyone did it would be you! How's Rick's sister doing? Thanks as always. God Bless You and Yours

[@TheRVANDY9]

Looks good but one question, didn't you need/ have to butter the foil pans,or ownt' the fudge be sticking badly to them?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

You can if you want to, but I have never had a problem with this sticking once it is set. If you place it in the fridge for overnight, it should pop right out of the pan. Then if you want to you can line it with a strip of parchment so the recipient has an easier time.

[@TheRVANDY9]

Thanks. Love your receipes.

[@FriendlyPitbull1]

I could just smell these! Hey, Noreen do you have a recipe for peanut butter balls, buck eyes, or whatever they want to call them? Basically REESES in a more elegant form with dark foreclosures chocolate???

[@debbieklement5811]

If you want to guild the lily...toast your nuts ahead of time and let them cool completely...so good!

[@elisasmama]

This looks amazing!...as usual. :)

[@momof2momof2]

Wellll that has to be good ! :)

[@THEHORSELOVER235]

sry to bug you but can I just use a pan no double boiler/bain Marie.

[@nursevsfood]

Food is always the perfect idea

[@Dorrie519]

does this need refrigerated?

[@joannpowell265]

Yum Fudge!!!

[@webdeb8814]

Noreen, can you do the same thing using chocolate chips?

[@AngelBabysChannel]

Hi Noreen, I just downloaded this recipe on my phone, from your website, and it doesn't have the butter or the salt listed in the recipe on there. Just thought I would let you know :)

[@RockyBarraganRB]

Ooh this looked delicious Noreen!

[@MyFondestMemories]

Noreen, Can I add maple syrup to this? If so, how much would you recommend? I'm having the darndest time finding maple extract.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

+MyFondestMemories Sorry, adding maple extract will not work. It will prevent the fudge from setting properly. Maple extract is easily available online. I just checked Amazon and there are several to choose from.

[@MyFondestMemories]

+Noreen's Kitchen Thanks so much Noreen...this is why I love ya, girl! ;)

[@kentyoong7629]

Noreen's Kitchen go i

[@darktobi2869]

How do you let it sit?

[@butterflyw3938]

Is the temperature of the fudge an issue? Cooking time?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

No

[@allilav1265]

What size cans sweet condensed milk did you use my hubby bought small cans. Ugh!

[@NoreensKitchen]

14 ounce standard size cans. I didn't think they made little cans any more.

[@Victoria_Merrifield]

Do you think this could be made in a crockpot?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Nope. This needs tending

[@ds.4454]

Noreen, you show a cube of butter in this recipe but when you go to your blog under recipes for Vanilla Nut Fudge there is no butter listed....???

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

So sorry for that error. It has been fixed. You can print out the recipe here: bit.ly/2yG03WW Thanks for letting me know!

[@ds.4454]

Thanks for the quick response

[@brendawalker5644]

Where do you find vanilla nut flavoring? Thanks

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

At my grocery store or on Amazon

[@THEHORSELOVER235]

what size bag of chocolate chips

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I explained that it takes 6 cups of white chocolate chips, so it doesn't really matter what size bag you use since you have to measure them anyway. The chips I bought had 2 cups each in them so I used three bags, but the brand you buy may have more or less. That is why I gave the measurement and not the number of bags you would need. It will differ depending on what brand you use.

[@THEHORSELOVER235]

Noreen's Kitchen there are different size bags that is why I asked.
