Need a Foolproof Fudge Recipe? Share Your Favorites!

[dessertMama]

I've tried a couple of fudge recipes that i got online and both of them I failed. I followed the instructions and both of them came out too gooey. Anyone have any fudge recipes (milk chocolate, white chocolate or peanut butter fudge) that you like to share...and hopefully I won't mess up.

Thank you.

This is so easy, and so good - and it always turns out. It's the only way I ever make fudge now.1 Bag of Chocolate chips (or white or peanut butter chips)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanillaMelt Chocolate chips and milk together over low heat, add vanilla & stir until combined. Pour into parchment paper lined 8x8 pan and refrigerate until firm.This is the easiest and best tasting fudge. WAY better than the recipe that uses canned frosting. That one just tastes like canned frosting to me.:yuck:I often make this chocolate-peanut butter fudge by melting about 1/2 cup of peanut butter with the chocolate chips and milk. That's my favorite.

I used this Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/easiest-peanut-butter-fudge/Detail.aspx and changed it according to the suggestions in the reader reviews. I did not make chocolate this year, but I also do the same as Becky.

I tried the sweetened condensed milk recipe but don't like it nearly as much as the one on the back of the marshmallow fluff jar--just be sure to bring the temp up where it belongs and it will be a big hit!

I make a variation on this: I use 12 oz semisweet chips and 9 oz butterscotch chips, melt them with the can of condensed milk, and then remove it from the heat before i stir in the vanilla. this year I stirred in pecans or dried cherries (two different batches), but I've done

• raisens and peanuts
• crushed candy canes
• walnuts

I can't wait to try the peanut butter. Well, I guess I can wait until tomorrow, but not til new years!

I wish I had sugar! I have at least 2 ingredients for each of the recipes above but I'm missing at least one on all. LOL I need to restock my pantry (and my sugar canister!)

Ok, I know this is cheating....but I swear this is best fudge! Never gooey, never gritty, just always smooth, creamy and perfect. melt a bag of chips (choc chips, white chips, etc)
add a can of choc frosting (not whipped)
pour into 9x9 pan. add nuts, etc.
I often add peanut butter too. That's it! Honestly, it's that simple!

 

[ShelbyMichalek]

That's not cheating! I've done that before too! Except when I wanted to make it the other day we thought we didn't have choc chips so we used our tub of frosting on cupcakes. And then I found the chips in the freezer. haha!

It's so funny, I make this every year and put it in gift baskets. It's such a huge hit and everyone thinks I have some major secret recipe! LOL! They all look forward to it so much I won't tell them how easy it is!

The fudge recipe on the back of the fluff jar IS amazing. You just need to make sure you get it to the right temp. Use a candy thermometer. Seriously. Best fudge (and easy too) ever!

That's the one I use - the one on the back of the tall plastic white fluff container (not the glass jar one). Its called Never Fail Fudge. YUMMO

 

[dessertMama]

Thank you all for the suggestions. Many to choose from...and my husbands suggestion is "We'll try 'em all, it's not going to waste".

We gave fudge as part of our goodie boxes this year. It was a HUGE hit. I make the same recipe as Marghi (BlueMoon), but I add 1 T orange extract and a cup of dried cranberries. Yummy.
