Rosalee's Belizean Fudge

www.barepantrys... Belizean fudge has nothing to do with chocolate. Nevertheless, this candy is a divine confection. My mom Rosalee has perfected this recipe over the past 40 years. When you eat a piece of this sweet treat you will feel like you are in heaven. Be sure to give some to your Valentine.

Made it today with my son and it came out so good 🤗. Thank you

[@KrystaKostrubiak]

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is perfect and just the way I remember it from spending a lot of time in Belize growing up. Such a great memory. I added ginger and coconut to mine.

@bobbyyezzur24..Mommy must be getting soft in her old age, because she wanted me to remind the everyone (1) you must use a really thick pot (2) don't put too much butter in the fudge or it'll come out too soft (3) grease the baking sheet lightly because too much butter will make the fudge too soft (4) remember to keep scraping the sides of the pot because the outside won't cook good, and then it'll soften the fudge again. She was so tired from chemo that day, but you made her smile today. :)

Hi! I rarely ever comment on KZbin videos but I just wanted to say thank you for all your amazing recipes! My mom is from Orange Walk and my Dad is from Dangriga. I grew up with so many of these dishes cooked in my home but bless my mom's heart she doesn't have the patience to teach and would always say "just cook it till it's nice :)" lol. The Bare Pantry Show has allowed me to cook like a true Belizean and even my Mom is proud of my efforts! My husband and I are currently in Okinawa Japan as he serves a tour of duty with the Marine Corps. These recipes are my own slice of home when I am SO far from home. Thank you.

[@babykay0502]

Yes I must get one of these thick pots. I think many of our dishes come out so well when we have this type of pot. I am so glad I came across your channel because I want to be able for my children to enjoy the dishes I did growing up. I am glad to hear that your mother is doing well. God Bless.

I learn something new here ,because I learn from my mom to put just the sugar and milk in no water and keep stirring. Got to try this with the water ,maybe thats easier because the sugar will melt quicker .

[@TheBarePantryShow]

My mom use to make these way better than I ever could and she use to have us sell them during recess at school in order to raise money for the school.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

mom got hers at Walmart, but not with the regular pot. The come with a little bit of cardboard wrapped around it and it's lid like near the Pyrex stuff.

[@destinyjones2174]

Thank God your mom is okay. God has your mom in his hands. I know what & how you feel. My 3 year daughter was diagnosed with cancer of the eye. My prayers goes out to your family.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Destiny, God granted my mom a miracle twice. She just went through another scare with a nodule found in her left lung. Through prayer and supplication it turned out to be nothing but scar tissue from one of her life saving surgeries of the past. What's your daughter's name so we can lift her up in prayer. All is well my love.

[@bobbyyezzur24]

Fudge looks really good! Thanks so much to your mom for dishing out the secret. i never did think of using cashews instead of peanuts but that sounds amazing :)

[@tylermeggs8864]

Wow I tried this recipe and it came out perfect . Husband n son was fighting over it lol thank you ladies ❤️

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi rdc197810...Normally she is very boisterous, but on this day she was suffering the effects of chemo. She insisted on teaching me the fudge as she thought there was a possibility she could take the recipe to her grave. Thankfully, she beat stage 4 uterine cancer on June 18th 2012 and is back to her old self again.

[@blancaaracelybolanos4362]

Thanks for ur recipe...I wanted to make some Bzean fudge for my grandsons living in Fla. Have a great one

[@bzbeauty]

Thanks so much for your quick response. That's good to know, even if it gets sugary/grainy that's ok. Traditional Bosnian coffee, they don't put sugar (or milk) in the coffee, but will nibble on a sugar cube or in this case Belizean fudge, while they drink the coffee black. Funny how cultures so far apart can have certain things in common. Pity we still have so much of the first batch left cause I'd like to try your mom's recipe. Oh well, next time.

[@sophie83ify]

Looks yummy. Have to try this one.

[@shundakm]

It would have been nice to have found her one also bc she just got her whole kitchen done in black & silver & white and all her appliances are beautifully done in black. Her flat top stove, double door fridge & everythings just beautiful even the floors & wall tiles... Oh well thanks soo much & i cannot wait to buy your cookbook; i just luv ur channel & how beautifully your food is done & OMG I JUST REALLY LUV THAT POT LMLBO... ;)))

[@corinabizzell6299]

Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe with us. So yummy Mrs. Rosalie

[@rdc197810]

oh wow - I'm truly glad to hear she is better. Nothing beats a Belizean mother

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi bzbeauty, these are like Twinkies, they never die. :) Truly though, the most that will happen to them is that they will become sugary/grainy, but they will last forever.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Yes..God is truly the great physician...

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi babykay0502, remember that your pot has to be thick okay. My mom was in the middle of fighting for her life when we did this video. Now, thank God, she's cancer free. I'll have to invite her to teach us how to make rice pudding soon. My older brother and I use to have to sell fudge at All Saints school to raise money so I could win popularity contest. I would always win. Mom's fudge was the best.

[@bzbeauty]

I'm married to a Bosnian man and discovered at a restaurant in Bosnia they served this (just the fudge itself without nuts) with their coffee. So I made a batch of these for my husband to have with his coffee. Naturally, I over cooked it. Pity I didn't see this video earlier. But anyway, it's just 2 of us and it's really sweet without the nuts, so he only has it with his coffee. So my question is, how long can these things survive before they go bad?

[@TheBarePantryShow]

I have my own version of roti at the site already. I think I called it dahl roti. Good luck!

[@babykay0502]

This is the thing I miss the most. I have to try and make this myself.

[@shundakm]

oh thanks so much for responding back to me. Idky but they dont carry them anywhere at the W.Marts here in Arkansas & i have even tried to find them online but it dont really help if u dont even know the correct name of them. Thanks so much, my mommie & I luv to cook so it would have made a beautiful bday gift from me if i could have found us both one. Lol our bdays 3 days apart in August. Im the 6th & mommies the 9th.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

@ladymac123...you made me laugh in the middle of a long day at work. Tomorrow morning I'm putting up enchilades. Tart is coming soon too. I have another one of mom's delicious recipe. It's for bread pudding. I was waiting for my mom to take her last chemo before I do that one as a celebration for her. She says we may have to do it sooner because her appetite is still good..praise God!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Good Morning Shundakm. I'll go to Walmart later and tell you the name of the pot ok. Isn't August the greatest month to born in? Lol I say that because my birthday is August 14th. My grand aunt who taught me the bread recipes, birthday was Aug 9th. She's been passed on since 2004 though, at age 98 no less.

[@marisolj8063]

It would be nice if you say how long you have it on the stove . Jeee

[@gretagay1563]

I'm in heaven when I have fudge in my hand. Everyone who knows me--knows I love fudge. Finally I found the secret--(when to take it off)--that's why my fudge is always stretchy or cracky--LOL. I'm ordering your book straight away.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

@laydmac123..Is is all gone already? Ours disappeared that day. Mom & Dad are both diabetics so they dared not test their sugar that nite. :)

[@destinyjones2174]

You should do one on rice pudding.

[@TheRonnette4]

Made this tonight and this will be my featured Christmas candy. Thanks again. Do you have a roti recipe you do not mind sharing?

[@OfficialDannyPrime]

Thanks so much for making this video! I have been using it every year for the past few years to make this as a dessert for my family but my success rate is about 50%. A lot of the time I end up taking it out to early and it finishes with a smooth gooey/sticky texture as opposed to the hardened grainy texture that it should have. I was wondering how I may avoid this in the future. Should I just let it sit longer on the stove or could it have to do with the cooking temperature? How long do you stir the ingredients in this video after adding the butter and vanilla?

[@rdc197810]

ha ha - your mom reminds me of my mom whispering in the background

[@Esoteric1ne]

Praise the Most High!!

[@pregnantlesbian]

[@shundakm]

[@starlikegluethis]
