Easy Homemade Fudge Recipes

Tara Van Ness
Almost everyone loves fudge. The super sweet candy confection that is chewy and seems to melt in your mouth is a favorite around the holidays, such as at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Giving homemade fudge as a gift is a popular and tasty choice. It is also a simple holiday dessert that can be made ahead of time. The perfect fudge is that which doesn't crumble, but dissolves or slowly melts in your mouth. It should be sweet, but not sickly sweet, and you should not taste sugar granuals. Delicious fudge should have the consistency of a soft cheese.

How To Make Fudge

Fudge is typically made with a combination of sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, then cooked on the stove. There are also simple no-cook fudge recipes that can be made easily too, although these kinds typically need refrigeration. Fudge can be flavored with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, as well as gourmet fudge, adding fruit, nuts, and other flavor combinations.
