Easy Fudge

This easy fudge is the best fudge I have ever eaten! I have tried alot of fudge from different people, restaurants and shops that claim they have the best fudge but I always come back to this recipe which is how my mama made it growing up. It’s silky smooth, with the perfect chew and it’s never grainy or dry! It is also an empty canvas for creative flavor combos so you can create any type your brain can think up!

Orange Chocolate fudge

In the past I’ve made rocky road with the addition of marshmallows and almonds, white chocolate with cherries and almonds, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, mint chocolate, orange chocolate, cherry chocolate, lemon chocolate, raspberry chocolate, white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, mint chip with chocolate ganache and more.

Milk chocolate fudge

Some flavors on my to-make list are peanut butter cookie dough, pistachio, banana rum, caramel chocolate and more! So be creative, this recipe provides an excellent base to create from.

  5. Add extract or oils and stir.
  6. Line a cookie sheet or 8 x 8 glass pan with parchment paper and add the fudge mixture.
  7. Press down until smooth, I lay a piece of parchment paper over then smooth it on the top.
  8. Allow to cool and completely set up before slicing.
  9. This will last out of the refrigerator for a few days in an air tight container but if kept in an air tight container in the refrigerator it will keep for 2 weeks or longer.
