Thank you so much. My mom passed at age 38 she always made this fudge. So beautiful to finally get to relive her fudge! She mailed this to my dad in Viet Nam~

The real, old-fashioned cooked fudge IS a lot more trouble but tastes 100 times better than the "quick & easy" kind. It feels better in your mouth, too. We used to call it "Momma's hard fudge" because wasn't soft like the marshmallow fluff kind. I still have Momma's hand-written copy of her recipe

I literally cried watching this… thank you for preserving history. My mom and I thought my grandma’s fudge recipe was lost, every year we talked about wishing we knew how she made it before she was became unable to. My mom and I remember her saying “Oh it’s just on the back of the Hersheys can!” We lost her this year. I will make this and her chicken and dumplings this weekend in her memory ❤

My grandma used to make pans and pans of this, she called it “cooked fudge” at Christmastime. She’d use the cold water/ball test. She’d sometimes make this recipe but stop short of fully cooked and serve it warm in a gravy boat to pour over a yellow cake. So darn good!! Thank you Ms Lori for sharing.

This is my first Christmas without my grandma. She was known for her fudge, but hers differed a bit in amounts from yours. I was smart enough to ask her for her recipe before Alzheimer's took most of it, but she'd already forgotten some of the directions. I used her amounts but your steps to try this again after the first batch wumped out, and now I've been teary eyed licking the spoon in the kitchen remembering her because it worked this time. Thank you for your help!!!!

This is the first candy I made as a farm kid. I had fresh whole milk and homemade butter to use along with Watkins vanilla from the Watkins man who came around once a month. I made this as a 12-year-old and used the testing in cold water method, never had a fail & my 3 older brothers along with my Dad would have it gone in one evening watching TV. Thank you for the memories, I am making this again for Christmas.

I'm 71 now and haven't made this in years. It was my moms favorite, she made it quite often when I was young. The whole family loved it. I had stopped making fudge when I was diagnosed a diabetic, but I've decided to give it away for Christmas this year to family, friends and neighbors. Thanks for making it and making me remember it.

Who you have here is a teacher, a real instructor. Tells you what you need to hear, know, and do. Spares the fluff.

Hey everyone, I’m Canadian and we identify Hershey as an American icon. It’s been a hard go the last couple years and watching this video and reading all your comments made me so very happy. You all are talking about your grandparents and family traditions and it made my heart soar. Thank you to everyone. And Miss Lori I tried to make this tonight. Just waiting for it to set now. Wish me luck and thank you for sharing this old school piece of Americana with the rest of the world. Happy holidays everyone

Yay! Someone who really knows how to make real Hershey’s cocoa fudge. I started making this recipe in 1952 It’s the best. This cook knows what she’s doing.

I'm 68 years old and can still taste this fudge. We were poor growing up but once in a while we were surprised with this sweet treat! I've never made it, but I will this year. Thanks for the memories:)

Brings back good memories. Mom made it all the time. Sometimes it was successful; sometimes it was "spoon" candy, but it was always good.

[robertchristian]

My mom always made this kind as do I. I made a batch and took it to work once and I gave some to one of the supervisors and I immediately noticed a happy/ sad look on his face. He looked up at me and said OMG, I haven’t had this in many many years and it instantly brought back memories of his grandmother. I made him a batch for Christmas and gave it to him at the company dinner. He told me that he couldn’t wait to share with his wife to see her reaction. I will always remember that day.

[terrisutton]

This is the kind of fudge we always had. I remember my mom stepping out onto the back deck as she stirred the pan, so it would cool off faster. When it came time to make it for my own kids, I did the same thing and stepped out into the Iowa winter weather to cool it faster as I stirred. Wonderful memories. 💖💕

This is the recipe my grandma taught me and she and I make it every Christmas. She uses the cold water; I use a candy thermometer. The only different thing is as soon as it comes off the heat we add the butter and vanilla and put the pot in a bath of ice water and start beating immediately.

[walterscott]

My mom used whole fresh milk from the barn, it was so good. Unfortunately the old people didn’t wright down their recipes. Thank you for this video. My mom was born in 1912 and had so many delicious recipes like her custard pudding. Wish I had that recipe too.

[karlenelogan]

I have been trying to make my Mom's fudge for decade's with little luck . I went to the goodwill and got a heavy pot and a wooden spoon and broke out my candy thermometer and followed your directions and ended up with fudge and not fudge sauce. Eating the fudge takes me back to my childhood. Thank you.

I just had to let you know that you’ve just made my morning. We lost my Dad this past week and last nite I was having one of those thoughts of small things we’ll miss. Dad made this for us every Christmas for as long as I can remember. Because with all the seasons fancy fudge and candy making this was always our favorite. He would never use a thermometer so the batches that turned out thin and crystalie was how we liked it best. He knew it by heart because and they don’t print it on the can anymore. God works in mysterious ways. Bless you and Merry Christmas ❤️

[Allenmassageguy]

Ah ha. I’ve wanted my Aunt Carole’s fudge recipe she used for about 50 years and this has to be the one she has used all these years…the secret is out! When I saw this isn’t the glossy fudge and how it sets up hard I knew that had found it. Thank you. The search is finally over and mystery resolved. I’m going to make this for the family Christmas party!

We were a large family and the 8x8 pan of fudge did not last very long. So, my mother eventually put it on a cookie sheet pan to make it thin fudge and we loved it! Those smaller pieces were all we, as little kids, really needed.
