Fudge Recipes
By: andicatt Date: April 13, 2020, 1:10 pm

Does anyone have any fudge recipes? Anything with ingredients
that do not include chocolate chips or marshmellow fluff. I
can't (don't want to actually) go to the stores just for a few
ingredients. I tried making some fudge but it wouldn't harden
properly. It's worse than "spoon fudge" lol. The ingredients
were sugar, hershey cocoa powder, milk, vanilla and butter. I
have 2% milk so maybe that's why it didn't set? I do have
condensed and evaported milk tho'. Help!!!! and thank you in
advance!!

You can't use 2% milk for fudge. At best you'll end up with
basically really thick chocolate milk or frosting stuff.
Grandma's fudge was a can of sweetened condensed milk, 4 oz of
real butter, a hefty splash of real vanilla extract, and 2 bags
of chocolate chips. It was all done on the stovetop and you
basically melted everything and brought it to a boil without
burning it. Then dumped the concoction on a parchment paper
lined cookie sheet until it cooled. Nuts and other stuff could
be chucked in just before pouring.

This isn't going to help you with non-store-trip fudge. But I
usually make fudge with Marshmallow Fluff. And several years
ago, I wrote them a letter suggesting they change the wording of
their recipe on the jumbo container--and they did!
If you have evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk, you
might be able to find a recipe that uses those. (the Marshmallow
Fluff one uses evaporated milk, but of course you have to buy
the fluff...)

There should be a substitute for chocolate chips with cocoa,
probably more butter and sugar. Try googling it.
But yes, you would need evaporated milk at a minimum, preferably
sweetened condensed milk.
You have me curious now; I might have to google fudge recipes!

1 oz of unsweetened chocolate can be substituted for 3 tbsp of
cocoa + 1 tbsp of butter. So then you just have to figure out
how much sugar to use if it is bittersweet, semisweet or milk
chocolate chips. The one conversion I looked at says 3 tbsp
sugar; it didn't specify which but I'm guessing that's either
semisweet or milk chocolate.
I looked for recipes. Lots on Food Network, Martha Stewart,
Kraft - have a look and tell us how it goes!

I might try again tomorrow. Maybe peanut butter fudge. ;D
Either that or peanut butter cookies. Thank you everyone for
your suggestions!

I should thank you for reminding me that I have a jumbo tub of
Marshmallow Fluff in the cabinet, and I'm pretty sure I have
evaporated milk too.
I'm going to look into making fudge!

I was charmed to learn a while ago that fudge was pioneered in
American women's colleges in the 1890s. The meals they were
served were severely plain, and the girls craved sweets; so they
took to taking the milk, sugar and butter they were given back
to their rooms, mixing it all together a metal dish, and
balancing the dish on top of a gas lamp to cook! What a
wonderful picture; all these studious girls in their
leg-of-mutton sleeves and floor-length skirts, standing
precariously on chairs to make their illicit fudge.
