Easy Peasy Homemade Fudge Recipe
This fudge recipe is so easy, all you need to be able to do is stir reliably and not remove yourself from the stool you set beside the stove top for about 20 minutes. And because it’s homemade, it makes an ideal gift. (Christmas gift, teacher’s gift, halloween treat or any time really!) My girls make this every year for my hubby as his Christmas present, it’s become a bit of a tradition on our home now.
Easy Fudge Recipe:
Makes 36 3cm squares.
Ingredients:
- 500ml sugar
- 30ml golden syrup
- 125ml butter
- 1x397gm 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. If you start to notice very dark flecks appearing, you could have the temperature a bit too high. Stir a bit faster and ensure you are scraping the bottom of the pan thoroughly.
- 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 only problem with this fudge is that it’s so yummy it doesn’t last long!

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!
I’m glad you have a great recipe now, I hope it works well for you. And if not the first time, I’m sure there’l be lots of takers for your practicing!
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
