Creamy and decadent, this easy fudge is done in minutes and is lower fat than most recipes! It requires little stirring and no thermometer.
I love fudge and this recipe for fast and easy fudge is no exception. If you caught my post on Easy Peanut Butter Fudge you know just how much I love it! With fall here I’m starting to think about Christmas. That, in turn, reminds me of all the yummy candy I plan to make! I have been making candy for more than 15 years now so I feel pretty comfortable trying more difficult recipes. The way I got to that point was by starting with super simple recipes like this one. I believe with all my heart anybody can learn to cook.
Easy Fudge
If you are new to candy making I encourage you to start with something easy like this recipe. . It’s delicious but the time requirement is low, as is the level of experience required. Your kids could make this. That being said, boiling sugar is hot. If your kids are not old enough to use caution with high temp cooking they need to be carefully supervised in the kitchen. Candy making is more dangerous for kids because are short and their eyes are closer to the level of the stove top. Boiling candy tends to spatter and could cause permanent injury. Use wisdom.
Even experienced candy makers will love how easy this recipe is. I also keep it in mind for “emergencies”. Why stop at the store to buy something when you can throw marvelous fudge together in 10 minutes? I hope having this recipe in your back pocket is helpful with the holiday party season around the corner.
