I always stir just the sugar and cocoa together first because the sugar breaks up the lumps in the cocoa. Then, when I stir in the milk there are no lumps to contend with. It also works the same way with recipes like homemade pudding or pie filling that call for cornstarch.
A woman used to bring this fudge into work for us. I asked her how she got it sugary (gradually). She said stirring it a lot. I actually like it better that way. I haven’t made this recipe in years. And found this video, which reminded me of that. Can’t wait to make it! ❤
What a lovely recipe. My Gramma use to make fudge like this but I never knew what her ingredients were. It usually was made by the time all of us arrived. She always like to have things almost done by the time all of her family came over. I miss my gramma, but I love your recipe. Thank you so much
When my nana discovered crunchy peanut butter she would use that if she was out of walnuts. My sister learned how to make it get grainy for me bc I love that grainy texture! Everyone else gets the good version.
Thank you for this video recipe! I was just asked if I had the recipe my dad used when he made his famous fudge and at first I assumed there would be no recipe...then I realized that he would have used the Hershey's coco and would follow the ingredient amounts on the can... He never used a thermometer but I always loved watching when he could form the ball of fudge in the little cup of water. Thanks again... I have passed this video on to my family members that were seeking my dad's recipe.
This is the best fudge recipe ever. I first remember my grandmother making it back in the 70’s. Now I’m the one that makes it for the family. Never a Christmas without it. I like to make the peanut butter version without nuts, and a non peanut butter version with black walnuts. The black walnut version tastes like old timey fudge to me. 🤍
I whisk together the cocoa and sugar first and I put in warm milk so it starts to dissolve everything fast. When I first tried making chocolate no bake cookies it started to set too fast. I think I cooked it too long. SO when I added the oats it wanted to set in the pan. I kept stirring and stirring with a wooden spoon. Since it was drying too fast to form cookies, I just decided to make no bake cookie granola LOL. Everyone loved it and we had bowls of ice cream and used that as a topping.
We had the same tradition of watching a movie, and my mom would say If you make the popcorn I'll make the fudge. I was always good at making the Popcorn and I also learned how to make her fudge. So I do that now. She passed away years ago but I still make that. I like to make my fudge the way you made it.
Kidspastor7, we had the same tradition! Usually on Friday night, we'd have fudge and popcorn, or my dad would bring home peanuts and redhots which would be mixed together in a large bowl.
This recipe sounds like the one I grew up on, back in the 60’s. My older cousin would come over and make it for me. I do remember making it as I got older but don’t remember the ingredients. I remember dropping the fudge in cold water. Love the added peanut butter.
My dad made the fudge recipe off the back of the Hershey's cocoa can. He added black walnuts to it that we picked up from the farm. The last time I tasted it was 1989. I cannot find even a picture of that Hershey's can...and yes, I remember him talking about the softball stage
The Hershey's Cocoa is still available at most groceries in the Chicago area and I just checked the one in my pantry; the fudge recipe wasn't on it, but I am sure it would be on the Hershey's website.
Real fudge and not that knock off stuff people call fudge. Thanks for sharing this. I remember making this in my mom's kitchen. I used the cold water trick too.
I remember making this as a kid, and I liked it because it wasn't real creamy but it was 'hard' fudge. We didn't have a candy thermometer and I don't remember doing the watch drop test. I remember we stirred it until it had a 'sheen' to it, and also it was starting to crystalize. Maybe we did it 'wrong' but that was how we liked it. 'Hard' not soft and creamy.
I made some tonight and it turned out perfect and absolutely delicious. I followed your recipe because it was basically the same as my mom's. It brought back some great memories.
I love to make a batch with special dark and dried cherries. Very good. I made one batch with a little cinnamon and dried habeñero for a Mexican chocolate fudge.
I noticed you didn't allow it to cool to 110 degrees and poured while hot. I must say this goes against the standard tradition. Yet yours came out perfect! I will try it this way. To date I have invented many forms of new concrete trying to make this stuff.
I have never seen regular milk used...its usually evaporated milk and another cup pf sugar and a full stick of butter. I think the whole recipe is off!
Omg this is the same way my grandmother and mom use to make it i been trying to find how to do it since they passed...thank you and we eat it with popcorn too😁
So no just dumping in butter and letting the mixture stay undisturbed through a cool-down period? I seem to remember that, and then having to beat the heck out of it, and then as soon as it lost its glossy look, having to quickly - and I mean quickly - get it into a buttered pan. This method sure seems much better. I'm going to have to give this one a try.
Exactly! I tried another YT vid last year and she did No cool down. I was amazed. It turn out great. Encourage you to try this method. Texas sending Christmas love.
This recipe was on the box of hershey's cocoa for a lot of years, I still have the recipe and have made more fudge then I can count over the years, but now as a senior citizen I can't cook like I use to and I do miss it.
I'm 71 years old and this is FUDGE! Mom made it every few weeks and my dad tried a few times but it always ended up as thick chocolate sauce we put on ice cream. My favorite way is to make it grainy..I love that grainy texture!!
I have been making this since I was a little girl as well! Boiled sugar fudge like chocolate and penuche and any other flavor to me is real fudge. Marshmallow fluff fudge is not fudge to me nor is a bag of chocolate chips and a can of sweetened condensed milk that has to stay refrigerated because it's not stable at room temperature. Christmas got a late start this year because I have been sick but what the fudge and goodies begin!! :-)
AMEN!! MARSHMALLOW OR CONDENSED MILK IS NOT FUDGE!!! I remember getting to the soft ball stage in cold water and then removing from heat and beating the heck out of it until ALMOST dull. By the time it gets dull it would set up too late to dish up. You had a rock of fudge in your pan! Almost dull I would Then quickly transfer to a buttered dish and spread. OOOO! Nothing can ever compare to this - except maybe the ORIGINAL Mackinaw Island fudge or Murdocks fudge!!
Thank you so much this was one of my moms favorites she’d make that I absolutely ❤ed , as kid n still to this day. Truly a memorable experience making with mom too. 🙏
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will be making a batch or two for my kids, grandkids and great grandkids. After seeing your video, the memories came back right away about how my grandma made really good fudge! Somehow thru the years I replaced my grandma's delicious fudge recipe with the marshmallow one. Your video inspired me to return to the way of the good old days! Blessings to you.
Oh my husband forever since I've made homemade fudge I'm 77 and I like your recipe but I did change it a little bit I used a third cup of cocoa and I use three cups of sugar that's where it's different but it's just it turned out great.
I used to make chocolate fudge years ago but lately just peanut butter fudge which everyone loves. This is the first recipe Ive seen where chocolate has peanut butter added ,,, would think it make it creamier,,, might be worth a try
Just a hint. Combine the cocoa & sugar before adding milk. Anytime I bake with cocoa I always combine it thoroughly with the main other dry ingredient.
Enjoyed watching your old fashion fudge recipe. Hope to see it again with the holiday’s coming up. That recipe is what I was used to growing up. Thank you! I’m looking forward to seeing all your old fashion recipes.
We didn’t have such a thing as a candy thermometer… so we always dropped some in ice water to tell when it was done. Never added peanut butter. Just black walnuts gathered and shelled.
*This recipe has been around about as long as there's been cocoa powder and a pot to boil sugar in. My parents made this when I was a young boy and I'm 62 now. You can control the consistency by how much you stir it as it's boiling. It's pretty good with crushed peppermint candy canes in it too... I would caution AGAINST REACHING OVER A BOILING POT OF SUGAR, sitting on top of a hot plate, like she does @**3:06**.*
Thank you I want to make old fashioned fudge like my mom used to but I have always been scared of it but after watching you I may try it without the peanut butter and nuts
Thanks for recipe. I love the ingredients. Hard to find it with the peanut butter added to it. It really is a nice flavor. If you like Reese's you will love this.
Just like my momma made it! All 5 of us kids would be standing around waiting to eat that "soft ball" stage piece. Lol! Great memories!! Thank you for sharing this! New sub here ❤❤❤
Looks So Delicious!! Can I ask where you got your Saucepan? Burner? & Spoon??!! I need those!! My burners do not burn evenly! Idk if I have the right pot size..& they say to use a wooden spoon so sugar crystals won’t form!! So.. I think before I “Try” making this.. I need the right tools!! Thank you!! You make it look So Easy!!🙌🙏🥰
When you're feeling experimental, cut down on the sugar. Many fudge recipes call for three cups, but you can often get away with two. Gives it a darker, more chocolatey taste, and actually better for you.
I tried this recipe, even tested the candy in water. I then added the butter, vanilla, and nuts. Stirred until it started to thicken, put it a pan and in the fridge over night. It turned out so soft, you can't cut it. Any ideas on what might have gone wrong?
My grandpa added sugar milk butter in pan this is not what he showed me when I was a kid when he was alive he said put it all in pan ..I was taught to add peanut butter and vanilla in after it cools so it will harden faster ..his fudge was old school ..
Here is the original Hershey‘s old fashion fudge recipe, without the peanut butter of course. www.yummly.com/recipe/Hersheys-Old-Fashioned-Rich-Cocoa-Fudge-933083?prm-v1=1
My mom used to make this fudge and the sugar was still gritty after cooking. I didn't like it because of that and I have not tried to make it. Does it get creamy?
I have made this twelve times it has never worked. Everything weighed perfectly. Did not stir after boiling.I’ve tried heating to 112 for a few minutes.Does not set. I tried heating it to 1118 for a few minutes. Does not set. Tried beating sheen away when cold at 43c. Does not set. Tried cooling in down in water and leaving longer to cool before beating until it’s so thick I cannot beat it any longer - does not set. Thermometer working perfectly. The soft ball test in water was spot on. Cannot work out it out!
That's what I want to know. Been thinking about this fudge my mom used to make. It was so buttery and crisp, this sounds like it, but I don't eat sugar anymore. Wondered about using Swerve. Monkfruit, etc.
That is true. I cut the sugar because it was way too sweet. With two cups sugar it’s still pretty sweet but it also lets the other flavors come through.
I tried this recipe but my fudge did not set up firm at all, it's almost like chocolate syrup. I have no idea what I did wrong. I wish I knew if I didn't stir it long enough or boil it long enough.

My nanny made this too. She added chopped pecans as the last ingredient. Always loved it and her!
Mix the sugar and cocoa together before adding the milk. This prevents those lumps of cocoa from chunking up.
Yes, good reminder and also use a wooden spoon when cooking fudge.
That’s what I came to say ! I’m surprised she doesn’t know that 🤷🏼♀️
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 yes, I’m just learning from all these baking channels and they say wooden spoon a must have so I have to buy some.

Hun, if you put the sugar and Hersey in pan first and whisk them together, the sugar causes the hersey clumps from happening when you pour the milk.
Thank you.
What kind of pan are you using? Looks like a really nice one.
I can’t wait to try this recipe.
Looks great. Just wondering if you taste the peanut butter?
I love eating popcorn with junior mints
Yum!
Reeses or m&ms
Can you use Carnation milk
I tried this recipe, even tested the candy in water. I then added the butter, vanilla, and nuts. Stirred until it started to thicken, put it a pan and in the fridge over night. It turned out so soft, you can't cut it. Any ideas on what might have gone wrong?
This fudge must reach 240 degrees thank you do not stir while boiling until it reaches 240.
I made thus fudge too when I was a child. Never put peanut butter in in it!
That is different!!
The peanut butter not only is delicious in it, but it makes it even creamier!
@@nanadebbieskitchen4724 For those with nut allergies (I love mine with PB!), what do we do if we omit the PB? Do we have to alter the recipe at all?
I prefer no peanut butter I want chocolate fudge
My grandpa added sugar milk butter in pan this is not what he showed me when I was a kid when he was alive he said put it all in pan ..I was taught to add peanut butter and vanilla in after it cools so it will harden faster ..his fudge was old school ..
Does it turn out right if the peanut butter is omitted? My family is not too crazy about peanut butter. We do adore fudge though. Happy New Year!
Yes. Will be absolutely fine. Just beat the fudge with a spoon after the soft ball stage is reached. When it thickens, pour it into a buttered dish.
@@nanadebbieskitchen4724 Sincere thanks, Debbie, for your reply!
Here is the original Hershey‘s old fashion fudge recipe, without the peanut butter of course.
www.yummly.com/recipe/Hersheys-Old-Fashioned-Rich-Cocoa-Fudge-933083?prm-v1=1
Do you have to add the peanut butter to this Recipe, of fudge?
I seem to remember my mom using evaporated milk. Will that work?
I thought the fudge had to cool down to 110 degrees before stiring
My mom used to make this fudge and the sugar was still gritty after cooking. I didn't like it because of that and I have not tried to make it. Does it get creamy?
Thankyou for sharing,can you answer me how much Milk did you use please?.
Do you add the other ingredients after it's cooled??
Can I leave out the peanut butter? Will that affect the way it sets up?
I thought the recipe called for three cups of sugar? And it said after adding the butter, let it cool to 110F before stirring.
Do you have to add peanur bymutter to this Recipe, of fudge?
I HAVE ONE QUESTION. DID YOU USE A TEASPOON OF CORN SYRUP
How long can we keep it in room temperature?
I store it in an air tight container until it’s gone. It keeps really well.
Wish you would put the link in the description instead of just your website. I can’t find the recipe you have so many
Do you absolutely have to use the peanut butter? I don’t like it.
I have made this twelve times it has never worked. Everything weighed perfectly. Did not stir after boiling.I’ve tried heating to 112 for a few minutes.Does not set. I tried heating it to 1118 for a few minutes. Does not set. Tried beating sheen away when cold at 43c. Does not set. Tried cooling in down in water and leaving longer to cool before beating until it’s so thick I cannot beat it any longer - does not set. Thermometer working perfectly. The soft ball test in water was spot on. Cannot work out it out!
Does anyone make this recipe with any type of sugar substitute?
When its to soft what does that mean?
My Mama always told me to add a bit of salt to any sweet recipe you’re making. It will never taste sweet enough without the salt.
I also believe that!
So you never told us what your thermometer read when you took it off ! Did you set your pot in cold water or just let it rest on the counter?
How to make without p nut butter?
Do you grease your pot before you put everything in it
This recipe is NOT on her website! I looked through each and every single recipe twice.
Can I use powdered sugar??
How did you introduce the sugar to the coca?
By first names.
Lmao 👍👍👍
Will it still thicken up without peanut butter?
yes
Have you tried making this with Swerve rather than sugar?
No, I haven’t tried that.
That's what I want to know. Been thinking about this fudge my mom used to make. It was so buttery and crisp, this sounds like it, but I don't eat sugar anymore. Wondered about using Swerve. Monkfruit, etc.
The original recipe calls for 3 cups sugar from the Hersheys cocoa can.
That is true. I cut the sugar because it was way too sweet. With two cups sugar it’s still pretty sweet but it also lets the other flavors come through.
I tried this recipe but my fudge did not set up firm at all, it's almost like chocolate syrup. I have no idea what I did wrong. I wish I knew if I didn't stir it long enough or boil it long enough.
hitting the correct temp is crucial to it setting up.
