fudge recipe?

Question

I am looking for a fudge recipe that uses powdered sugar and cocoa instead of chocolate chips/baking squares and granulated sugar. My mom had one called never fail fudge and it was awsome but i cant seem to find it in her recipe box or cook books....does anyone have a great fudge recipe?

Answer 1

NEVER FAIL FUDGE

INGREDIENTS
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Butter a 9x9 inch dish.
Combine sugar, cocoa, butter, milk, vanilla and salt in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Cook, stirring, until smooth. Remove from heat and beat until mixture loses its gloss. Stir in chopped nuts and pour quickly into prepared pan.
Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

This fudge is very easy to make - no soft ball stage - yeah! quick too - and the pot was easy to clean - what more could I want? Oh right, it tastes really good. A keeper.

Answer 2

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 pound powdered sugar
4 ounces unsweetened baking cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Place the butter and milk into a small saucepan. Heat slowly over low heat until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat, and stir in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, parchment or waxed paper, and have the lining overhang the edges of the pan by about an inch. Butter the lining. Press the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, cover with additional foil or paper so that the fudge does not dry out. Chill until cool enough to handle, but don't let it get too cold or it will be difficult to cut. Remove from the pan by lifting the lining carefully. Remove the lining, and cut into squares.

Microwave Fudge
Easy chocolate fudge made in the microwave oven.

(You don't have to use the microwave -- a saucepan on the stove will work as well.)

Answer 8

The best one I have ever seen is from Dominos Sugar. It is on thier website.

It uses 10X powdered sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla, and you can use nuts as well.

On Occasion I have made a sub for example I have subbed rum for the vanilla and this year I have used the same amount of Peanut Butter as the receipe calls for Regular Butter.

2 1/2 cups sugar
6 ounces condensed milk
12 large marshmallows (cut into pieces)

Not the one? See other "-Like Money for Nuthin'-" Fudge Recipes
In a medium saucepan, mix together sugar and condensed milk.
Stir constantly over medium-low heat until all sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to boil.
Boil for 6 minutes, then add marshmallows, chocolate chips and margarine.

We have made many recipes and many fudge recipes and this one works really well and is a pretty quick recipe and people LOVE it!!! http://tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Nutty-Chocolate-Fudge
Unfortunately, this is not the exact one because one has to be a current subscriber to Taste of Home, but if you are it is "Nutty Chocolate fudge" from Light and Tasty, though this is very close, but I have not made it. Anyway, I hope this helps and good luck!
