Homemade Christmas Fudge Recipe
Hey y’all, Tiffany here with a recipe for homemade fudge that is from my great-grandmother and is perfect for Christmas!
I grew up with this recipe as a family tradition. My mother got it from her mother-in law (my grandmother, who gave me this pancake recipe and this canned apple pie filling recipe), who got it from her mother-in-law (my great-grandmother).
This recipe is from a group of Christmas dessert recipes that was passed down over the generations: divinity candy, turtles, caramels, and seven layer bars. All together, these are a great group of Christmas treats to pass out for caroling and go perfectly with The World’s Creamiest, Most Delicious Hot Chocolate (in a Slow Cooker!)
Homemade Christmas Fudge Recipe
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 can evaporated milk
Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes AFTER boiling.
- 12 oz. chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 Hershey bars (8 oz each)
- 1cup nuts (optional)
- 1 pint marshmallow cream
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
Break candy bars in to pieces and put all the ingredients into a large bowl. When the sugar/milk mixture is done, pour into bowl with candy. Stir fast – the fudge sets up quickly. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan (or slightly larger).
*Note: Cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on if you halve or double the recipe.
