Old timey fudge

September 19, 2026

My mother always made fudge from the recipe on the Hershey’s can. Over the years I have played with that recipe and this is my version. You may use any kind of nut you like (or none at all). Every Christmas my parents and children request this fudge and I am happy to make it for them. I’m sure you and your family will love it, too!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 oz)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
