Old fashioned fudge recipe without sweetened condensed milk or marshmallows. With basic ingredients and technique you can make fudge the way your grandma's grandma made it! Recipes for vanilla and chocolate fudge
Full printable RECIPE : icookandpaint.com/old-fashion...
INGREDIENTS
2 cups sugar
1 cup whole milk
½ cup evaporated milk
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, whole milk, evaporated milk and salt. Heat over medium and stir constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low and cook until mixture reaches 240F/116C on a candy thermometer. Stir frequently to prevent burning. If you do not have a candy thermometer, drop some of the mixture into cold water. If a soft ball forms, it is ready. If you would like a firmer fudge, cook a few minutes longer. In total it should take about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add butter but do not stir. Allow the mixture to cool in the pot until the butter is melted and the bottom of the pot feels very warm to touch but not hot.
Add vanilla and beat vigorously with a spoon until the fudge begins to thicken and lose its gloss. Quickly spread onto the parchment lined baking sheet to form a slab of your desired thickness. Cool for 2-3 hours before cutting into squares. Fudge tastes best a day or two later.

I agree! canned frosting, marshmallow fluff, and cocoa don't fly with me. I am old school too. It doesn't take that long to make authentic recipes and they taste so much better. 😊
My Grandma and my Great Aunt made fudge, or homemade candy as they called it, as Christmas. It was always such a treat! I can't wait to try this.

Yummy stuff! That is how I make fudge. People I've given it to as gifts love and can't wait till I make them some more. Most of the people I give it to say it is the best fudge they have ever had.

How do you prevent it from looking so lumpy/sand-like?
Yea! REAL fudge just like my mom made. NO marshmallow cream or sweetened condensed milk. My mom always did the ball test. Brings back good memories.

Step out of tradition a bit with the vanilla, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 flavored non dairy creamer - yum! My grandma always used evaporated milk, I use heavy whipping cream - she would not be happy with me but boy is it yummy!

I just made my first successful chocolate and chocolate coconut fudge. I've got some failed blackberry jam from last year that's been frozen and I think it could be turned into a nice fudge. I'm not going to eat it all of course, I'm going to give my neighbors diabetes too! ☺️

@@ICookAndPaint It _is_ amazing! I 100% recommend! It tastes like what mounds candy aspires to be. I got done making the blackberry fudge about an hour ago. It tastes more like taffy at the moment, but maybe it'll be more fudge-like tomorrow. I encountered a funny coincidence yesterday when giving away my fudge. I learned a couple things about a neighbor 1) she's a bit of a hippie: trying to avoid food dyes and corn syrup, 2) she recently found out she's expecting, 3) she's been strongly craving chocolate ( likely because she's pregnant) but has run out of chocolate. And here I randomly waltz up with no-dye, no-corn-syrup chocolate fudge and knock on her door. We're practically strangers, she was just the closest occupied house to mine and thus the first door I knocked on. The universe seems to have a sense of humor.
Is there a way prevent it from looking so lumpy/sand-like?
recipie please one plsin same as this and one same ad this but with marshmellows
Did your vanilla fudge sugar? My grandma - born 1914 - always added a TBL spoon of Karo. She stressed how important that was. I never use corn syrup, but over time I have discovered 2 important things about making REAL traditional fudges (don't stir the butter (or peanut butter until its cool, let them sit!)! 1 corn syrup prevents sugaring and so does NOT Stirring til its all cool. Granny knew best!

We made fudge as kids but somehow messed it up it didn’t go solid kinda like it was melted it tasted so good can’t recreate it again but does someone know how to that I have been after it for many years was so yummy 😋
@ICookAndPaint

If it doesn’t go solid that usually means the fudge wasn’t cooked long enough. I hope this helps :)
Thanks you for the recipe- followed and came out well! Only adjustment is your online recipe says to add 1 tsp of salt I followed your recipe and it’s salty Other recipes say add about 1/4 tsp of salt so suspect you’re online salt of 1,tsp was a typo?

@@ICookAndPaint I made it again with 1/4 tsp and it came out great ! Thank you for a great and easy to follow recipe- I would say it IS “foolproof” following your instructions ☺️. I made “real” fudge years ago and it beat it for over 20 minutes and said never again. You beat your recipe less than 5 mins so it is perfect!
There’s sugar crystals all in that
So why add the butter after the cooking? this is pretty out there in terms of fudge recipes, just curious what the motivation there is

@@ICookAndPaint Did you ever make the peanut butter fudge video? I clicked on this video because I thought that it was peanut butter fudge on the left side of the thumbnail, and I have a ton of peanut butter to use.
It's definitely not the traditional English fudge recipe
This is not a recipe
I made this recipe, and it tasted like sugared cardboard! I have a candy thermometer, did exactly what you showed, but it tasted awful! I used a different recipe, and it came out great. Sorry about criticizing your recipe, but something is not right. Maybe it was something I did, but the other one I made came out good. 🤔 Thanks anyway.
