Homemade Christmas Fudge Recipe

This yummy recipe for homemade fudge is a perfect Christmas treat! It has been passed down for generations in my family, and can be made with or without nuts.

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

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.
