Receta Hazel’s Easy Chocolate Fudge
Hazel’s Easy Chocolate Fudge
I’ve always found fudge to be really finicky, so I wasn’t terribly optimistic about tackling a fudge recipe that didn’t require a thermometer, and one in which I had to guesstimate the procedure to begin with. HOWEVER, this turned out to be the best-tasting chocolate fudge that I have ever made, plus it was easy as could be. Sometimes fudge can end up being a little too soft or, on the other side of the spectrum, way too dry and crumbly. This fudge is absolute perfection – it’s firm but unbelievably creamy and melts in your mouth.
I asked my aunt earlier this week if it would be okay with her if I shared her mom’s recipe on the site, and she said that she would be honored, as the last time her mom was able to make it was back in 1989. I was curious if the fudge had a special name and she said the recipe card simply said “FUDGE”, but my aunt thinks that maybe the recipe was on the back of the huge Hershey’s chocolate bars back in the late 50’s or early 60’s.
It’s no secret that I love family recipes, especially ones that can evoke strong holiday memories. Perhaps this fudge will do the same for your family; if nothing else, it is an absolutely fantastic fudge recipe that is easy to make and doesn’t require any special equipment. Enjoy!

An old family fudge recipe that makes the creamiest, most delicious fudge!
Ingredients:
- 1 (16-ounce) Hershey's chocolate bar, broken into small pieces
- 2 (12-ounce) bags semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
- 4½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 11 tablespoons salted butter
Directions:
1. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease.
2. Place the broken Hershey's bar, chocolate chips and marshmallow creme in a large bowl.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter, and stir until the sugar and butter are melted. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 4½ minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate, chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Quickly stir until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Cool at room temperature until set, about 2 hours. The fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
