My paternal Grandmother told my Mom always use butter, anything tastes better with butter. Grandma was the only one who could get me to eat eggs… a couple of eggs scrambled with a big glob if butter. NOTHING in the world tasted so good, such a creamy texture, a delicious buttery flavour and such a beautiful yellow. Yup, I grew up on a farm and to this day I cook my eggs the exact same way…. Loads of butter 😋 And before anyone comments of the “dangers of eggs and butter” to my health, I’m 62, have no issues with my cholesterol or signs of blocked arteries but it could be genetics who knows. All I know is anything natural is the best and nothing will change that and I eat meat, potatoes and veggies every day.

We never had a thermometer growing up. We cooked it to the sift ball stage. You drop a bit into a cup of cold water and when it forms a ball you can pick up and mold with your fingers, it is done.

[@lulumoon6942]

👍

[@CjJohnson-kf1oz]

My thoughts also. Mama never had a thermometer , but cooked to the soft ball stage. This was in the 1940s and 50s. I'm pretty certain her recipe was from back of Hershey Cocoa can and it did call for butter. It was also "hard" fudge ,but made with cocoa . About 2 times out of 5 the fudge would fail,not harden. This was, I'm sure,due to humidity in Fla. We didn't care much, still enjoyed every bite. Kudos to the young lady for her very good teaching ability. Every time we have traveled in past 40 years there has been a fudge shop at all tourist desinations.We were always hopeful to find real hard fudge,but no one does that commercial ly anymore,it's all soft.Good ,but not what we've been seeking. So nice to see tradition being kept.

Fudge is my favorite candy and I know EXACTLY what you're saying! There's no real Fudge or vanilla Taffy anymore. Even this is not fudge... it's technically caramel!

This is a celebratory food for the holidays, so enjoy it once a year and have something to look forward to. A CUTTING TIP …using a knife dipped often in warm water helps keep to the cutting lines looking nice and crisp. I've also used greased parchment paper in the pan, then when the fudge has set, turned it onto a cutting board, peeled off the parchment, and sliced. My family really enjoyed it, when I made this first batch to practice it. Thanks for sharing.

When scraping the mixture from the mixing bowl into the prepared pan, pull out a kitchen drawer (you can line it with a baking sheet or a towel, for spills), place the bowl on the edge of the counter, and scrape the fudge into the pan below.

The fudge looks delicious and a fun treat for a just because day.

[@deboraharlow4997]

Definitely a true labor of L😅ve! What a special prize for whoever is gifted a few pieces! ❤❤❤ Very easy to follow your directions.

[@littlejack6123]

Thanks for the family recipe. It's like sharing magic.

[@iliketoastems]

I love how thorough you are in your guidance and info.. walking us through this process so we can feel confident doing it ourselves! Awesome video!

Came for the fudge, stayed for the hair 😍

[@SharonYingling]

60 years ago mine looked like that. I 😂

[@EricaScalzo]

Hilarious! Sweet & TRUE! So cute!!!

[@lindabrauneheisner4487]

I love fudge! This golden butter fudge looks absolutely delicious 😋 and I'm definitely going to try and make it. Thank you so much for your Great, Great Grandmothers, Secret Recipe! ❤😊 🌹 Independence, Missouri USA 🇺🇸

[@TriciaNagels]

Tip if you save the butter wrapper then use that to butter the pan. Thank you mom Sang

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

😅…whew I’m so glad you put your hair back!! 🤗💐

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I absolutely love fudge so this is a treat of a video 🥰🥰

[@bluebirdhomestead]

What’s not to like about fudge right?! I hope you give the recipe a try Jasmine! 😊 -Cara

[@monicamailman3796]

Hot sugar is like molten lava!

[@marilynhardman5239]

When scoring the fudge at the end with a knife, dip the knife in hot water between scoring and you will get a nice smooth cut! Tip from a much older fudge maker. 😊

[@mymodernhomestead]

That sounds and looks amazing, Cara! Great video and tutorial! Thank you! 🥰💜

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you so much! I hope you give it a try. 😊

[@mmalsbur9579]

This looks like it would taste like the Scottish Butter Tablet that we fell in love with, when we went to visit relatives over in Glasgow. If it is, you can purchase it already made at the Scottish Gourmet on line. I have to purchase it, I find I eat to much of it when I make it myself. And yes, Kerry Gold is the BEST REAL BUTTER out there. Thank you so much for sharing, and thank your relatives for allowing you to do so. Our family fudge recipe is also made using Kerry Gold, since ours is chocolate, we use Cadbury’s Milk Chocolate Bars. We haven’t been given permission to share it. . . . YET. :-)

Hi Cara, You did an excellent job on this video. My Aunt Marie made Oxy Fudge. It's made exactly the same, but you add 1 1/2 bags of semisweet chocolate morsels, a dash of salt and 1 tsp vanilla. It's a killer 😋 So rich you know you need a workout after 2 pieces! Rick is diabetic so I haven't made it in several years. Your Butter Fudge looks really good ❤ ❤Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤ ❤Peggy❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Yummm that sounds so good Peggy! You can never go wrong with more chocolate haha 😉😊-Cara

[@seemtobeasecret]

Let's make me clear. All fudge is butter fudge coz it requires butter in all the recipe, but it will be called chocolate fudge if we add cocoa in it, it will be a vanilla fudge if we add vanilla extract in it, it will be salted caramel fudge if we add salt in it, it will be matcha fudge if we add on matcha powder in it, correct me if i am wrong..

[@rowanrobbins]

@@seemtobeasecret This doesn't have extra flavoring, hence the name "butter fudge".

[@JR-yy1iv]

Thank you, Cara. You are a wonderful teacher! I can't wait to try the fudge, and I hope there are loads more videos to come! HUGS!🤗

[@teresawesterlind1677]

I keep cheap twist tie sandwich baggies on hand to put my hand in and butter my baking dishes. Works great.

[@Amy-fd8cs]

This is a divine recipe! You did a wonderful job, Cara I’m waiting for my samples! Merry Christmas to everybody!🌲

[@dellasmalley6097]

[@carolhalpin481]

This is literally the best baking video I've ever watched. Every aspect of what we would need to do is covered and you've done this in a lovely way. You were a joy to watch. I have subscribed....checking all of the content on you channel and I hope there are more videos coming from you! Thankyou Kara...oh, and p.s....that laser thermometer is phenomenal. I had never seen one. Thankyou and am heading to Amazon. Cheers ❤

[@joeslaughter-rw3nx]

My grandkids love fudge. This year,this will be my fudge gift to them. Thanks sooo much.

[@KathysTube]

I bet it's deliciously decadent! Thanks for sharing Cara 🎄❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

It is definitely decadent haha 😋

[@kathyweddle8400]

I love love love that you took the time to pull that beautiful back! Thank you for that. The recipe looks wonderful.

[@kathydoan2845]

Except today everything is pricey to make, like back in the day 😮

[@suzannefuvich8834]

You did an excellent job explaining everything without adding nonsense talking. This looks delicious!!! I'll be trying this for the holidays this year for something different to make. Thank you so much! ❤😊

[@faithfullyfitkitchen]

Cara this looks sooooo delicious! 😋 Also, I noticed the style of this video is very well done! I'm always trying to learn from other creators to continually improve my videos as well. You have many camera angles, dead time is removed allowing for a nice paced video, it's detailed enough for even a beginner to follow and your product recommendations are very helpful! I really enjoyed this tutorial, well done! ❤Sarah

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you Sarah! 💚💚💚 You are so sweet. Thank you for noticing the video difference. I actually just switched to a new editing software called Premier Pro two videos ago. I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of it. There was definitely a learning curve compared to using Imovie. -Cara

[@lorisanford8515]

I love the way you give direction to your recipes it's so understandable and you just seem to be such a nice person I just subscribed to your channel can't wait to see what else I can learn 💗💗💗

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I’m so glad you found my channel, I hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much for your kind words :) -Cara

[@henriettajones726]

You did an amazing job explaining how to make this recipe. It looks like it would be so good. This is my first time of hearing about this recipe. You are very sweet. God bless you and your family in Jesus name. ❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the recipe! 😊-Cara

[@alicef128]

I’ve never heard of butter fudge, I will be trying this!

[@trevormangus7832]

TIP. Use the small can of evaporated milk to pour in corn syrup bottle to rinse the bottle out to get it all

[@bluebirdhomestead]

That’s a great tip! I will try that next time 😊 -Cara

[@yentasbagels]

Sweetheart, great tasting stuff. My cousin freaked out about the corn syrup. So I tried it without the corn syrup. It was smooth and creamy 👍

[@dianesaunders8729]

On the flip side there is absolutely nothing wrong with having something that's maybe not so healthy, it's okay😊and I can't wait to try this recipe❤ thank you so much for sharing this family secret recipe ,it looks delicious and I'm going out now to get some ingredient's 😊love to all❤❤❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you for your kind words. I hope you enjoy the recipe and let me know how you like it :) -Cara

[@scrapstreams]

This looks DANGEROUSLY delicious ! I totally agree.with the once-a-year practice. Perhaps it will become a new treat multiple times per year though, replacing former birthday treats as well.

[@sherylfisher4992]

Thank you for sharing your family recipe! It looks delicious!

[@danyelle1198]

🤤 that looks so good. I also love the red barn, ginger bread house so cute& unique

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you!! It was a fun project, the kids love decorating it. 😋-Cara

[@gardenstatesowandsew]

That looks delicious. Thank you for sharing your great great aunts special fudge. My late moms, late friend used to live making chocolate fudge and peanut butter fidge. We always got some for Christmas. I recently found her recipe in my moms recipes ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Yum chocolate and peanut butter fudge are so good too! We have some family recipes for those flavors as well that we always make. Nothing like the Christmas season for yummy treats 😊-Cara

[@TheyStoleMyHandleAgain]

Thank you for this: I have looked and looked for a good recipe for vanilla fudge. Everyone has recipes for chocolate and peanut butter fudge, neither of which are favored by me, but no one has had a decent fudge recipe. I can guarantee that temporature control is the single most important thing - - - when my second wife was still alive I made her some vanilla fudge - out of three batches, the one in the middle was the only one that was correct. One degree makes a difference.

[@joy-ju6tx]

YUMMMM!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

❤️❤️

[@klevy300]

To get the remnants of the corn syrup, you could put the milk in the emptied cs bottle and swirl it around to wash the sides clean of syrup.

[@mckdi1377]

Fellow Chesterfield dweller here! Great recipe!

[@cathyspengemann687]

You are so articulate and have such a great voice. Can't wait to try this. Thank you❤ A 73 y/o Grandma!

[@rosieg9227]

Very yummy looking recipe, i miss when i ate this type of stuff. I know better now. The healthiest ingredient in that entire recipe is the butter 😊

[@BeckyA59]

That looks delicious! How well I remember making chocolate fudge with my mom, letting it cool down and then beating like crazy with a wooden spoon for what seemed like forever! But boy that fudge was good!
