Why I only make homemade fudge at the holidays I will never know. It is so good and easy. My son has been asking for fudge and since it seems like fudge is for special occasions and since we just had a very special occasion –the time was right! So we are celebrating with delicious homemade fudge. You won’t believe how easy it is.

My son ( who doesn’t want to be on my blog) just graduated 8th grade! I am so proud of him. This kindhearted, athletic, smart, capable, hardworking, caring kid that is always hungry is certainly deserving of fudge!

        1. Just saw this posted on pinterest and have my batch in the fridge cooling right now, can’t wait to try it!

        2. I did make this when it was first posted and it was so unbelievably good!!!!! I’m about to go make some more! 🙂

        3. Your picture looks delicious! I started making this fudge 20 years ago and I too wish I would make it more often. I make this fudge in the microwave. The recipe was in a recipe booklet I got when I bought my Kenmore microwave years ago.
          No need for a candy thermometer.
          Combine sugar, evap milk, and butter in a 4 quart bowl. Microwave on high uncovered for 10 minutes and stir. Microwave another 10 minutes on high. Take out of microwave and stir in choc chips, marshmallow creme vanilla, and nuts. Pour into buttered pan. Cool in refrigerator.

        4. Thanks so much for the great idea! We’re making a batch for my kids teachers as a thank you for all their hard work. Again, you saved the day.

        5. This sounds yummy, on a side note, I just spent half an hour on your blog trying to figure out who won the mothers day giveaway stuff. Do you just contact winners and don’t announce it?

        6. Woah! Looks like my kind of sweet! I’m going to try this! When i read your son doesn’t want to be on your blog, i had a good laugh at how you ‘covered his eyes’! 😀

        7. I love the blackout on his face. I KNOW my son will ask the same of me all too soon. He’s only 7 right so maybe I have a couple of more years? Maybe if I make him fudge?

          Thanks for the recipe.
          : )
          jackie.

        8. Good request from your son! Seriously, I’m the exact same way and don’t even think about making fudge other times of the year. But it’s so yummy!

        9. Try making this fudge with a bag of marshmallows, not the creme and use a bag of kisses instead of the chips. Di. Vine.

        10. YUM! YUM! YUM! I know why I don’t make it during the year, because I would eat too much…guess I could give some away like I do at the holidays huh? Eating fudge feels like a celebration! Nice to read about/see your brilliant son. =) Thanks –

        11. My MIL uses this recipe…it is “her” fudge…we have changed it up a bit too by using white choc chips and adding pistachios, and cherries…or peanut butter chips instead…we even tried to swirls the mint and chocolate…not an easy task! But YUMMO!
