Easy Peasy Homemade Fudge
Yesterday was Halloween and because we all love fudge more than any other sweet I decided to make some. I also usually make fudge for Christmas gifts, for some reason the men in my life all love fudge more than chocolate – which means we never argue about who gets what.
This recipe is so easy, all you need to be able to do is stir reliably and not not remove yourself from the stool you set beside the stove top.
Fudge Recipe:
Makes 36 3cm squares.
Ingredients:
- 500ml sugar
- 30ml golden syrup
- 125ml butter
- 1 397gm tin sweetened condensed milk
Method:
Grease a 22x22cm baking tin.
Bring a stool and pop it next to your cooker.
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Don’t be tempted to increase the heat at any stage.
Sit on the stool and using a wooden spoon stir CONSTANTLY and evenly for 20 minutes, bring a book or something.
Make sure you stir right to the bottom of the pan to prevent the sugar from sticking and burning.
After 20 minutes when the mix has darkened in colour to a nice fudgey hue, pour into the greased baking tin to set.
Cut into squares when nearly cool.
The Instagram story I posted just to show the colour and texture when it’s ready to come off the heat.

The last time I had homemade fudge I was a teenager visiting my grandmother in New Mexico. It was so delicious I think I gained 5 pounds after, I ate so much!
😀😀 I’d say it’s lethal for the hips! Sounds like it’s high time you made some more.
I love that I need a stool and a book to make this fudge! 😉

I made fudge a couple years ago and, if I’m honest it wasnt great. Being a family of fudge lovers I’m going to try this. I feel hopeful looking at this, hopeful it will go right this time. Watch this space……..I hope they turn out as good as your!

Yum. Just yum. I love making fudge as presents. Usually make chocolate fudge. Time to ring the changes. #TweensTeensBeyond
Oh great, I hope you enjoy it! 😊
We are all suckers for a bit of fudge in this house but I have never tried to actually make it myself. Looks delicious Liberty. x
It’s actually really easy to make and the taste is worth it, far nicer than the fake fudge you sometimes get in the shops.
Oh wow this looks gorgeous and would make a lovely Christmas gift. Thanks so much for sharing with us at #TweensTeensBeyond
