This See’s Fudge Recipe is the easiest, most foolproof fudge recipe ever! It never gets
grainy and comes out perfectly every time.

Super Easy See’s Fudge Recipe

As far as we know this is the real See’s Fudge Recipe. We have had many people write us
to tell us that they have the actual recipe and they could be right, but this recipe came

from a See’s employee. I got this See’s Fudge Recipe several years ago from one of my
very best friends, Heidi (actually it is her Mom’s recipe – thanks Sue)! Even though I have
had this recipe for years, I didn’t want to share it until I had permission.

Finally I broke down and begged Heidi to let me share it with all of you. She graciously
agreed and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it here on Favorite Family Recipes with
you! This is a true See’s Fudge recipe that was given to Sue by an actual See’s worker

years ago. I don’t know if it is the exact same recipe they use today but, oh man, it is
incredible!

A few years back I made a batch then went to See’s so I could do a side-by-side

comparison. Guess what? Everyone who did the comparison (a blind comparison I might

add) along with me agreed that THIS recipe tasted better! It is the easiest, most foolproof
fudge recipe ever. It comes out smooth every time, never grainy. I have tried other

recipes that take MUCH longer to prepare and trust me, it is so unnecessary! You really

don’t need more than 15 minutes for perfect fudge! Give it a try and see for yourself. It will
quickly become your favorite too. Thanks again Heidi and Sue! I know some of you out

there will insist on adding nuts. All I have to say is “if you must.” I am not a big fan of nuts in

my fudge but if you MUST add some, go on ahead.

Can I use marshmallows instead of

marshmallow fluff?
In a word…no. We have had readers try it and they say it doesn’t turn out right. We haven’t

tried it before (if it ain’t broke…) but I can tell you it won’t be the same. Some say that they
have melted marshmallows down or used a recipe to actually make marshmallow fluff

but again, we haven’t tried this so we can’t tell you for sure that it will work. We like to keep

things simple and always stick to this original recipe.

Can I use a sugar substitute for this

recipe?
We don’t recommend using less sugar or using sugar substitutes for this recipe. It just

won’t set up the way it is supposed to.

Marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows, special chocolate chips or the cheaper brand,
to much sugar, not the real recipe , Really people can we just make the fudge as written
and enjoy! why criticized? If you don’t agree with this recipe find another.

Instead of chocolate is there anyway of making it eggnog for the holidays?

YUM, I love that idea! I would have to experiment with that before I can tell
you for sure. I’m not sure if you can substitute the evaporated milk for egg
nog or not. That would be the best way I can think of off the top of my
head.

My aunt has been using this recipe for years and it’s a favorite….I made it this year and it’s
grainy?!?!? What did I do wrong? I moved and am not used to this glass-top stove. Maybe
I cooked too long or not long enough?!

Favorite Family Recipes says

D E C E M B E R 2 3 , 2 0 1 7 A T 1 0 : 5 6 P M

If it is grainy, your chocolate is probably too hot. You are probably cooking
it a little too long or maybe on too high of a heat? Also, what kind of
chocolate chips are you using? That could make a difference too.

Any reason you couldn’t use parchment paper instead of greasing the pan?

You can totally use parchment if you would like

Very American, a lot of the ingredients are not available outside the states, which gives
you less feedback and readers like me, I mean, where else is one able to find toppings like
marshmallow topping, except for in the states! Oh well I’ll move on to others who will
cater for all and not just Americans.

I have never made fudge before. That being said….i made this and followed the directions
to the letter and it has received RAVE REVIEWS!!!! My question is….can I make the same
recipe with white chocolate to make white fudge? Also, can I use all chocolate chips
instead of bars in the same measurements of ounces?

Is it just me is or is this a lot of chocolate…

Other than that it turned out great just messy for me!

Favorite Family Recipes says

It is a lot of chocolate. That’s why it tastes so good!

Once it is prepared, we cut it in small pieces because it is so rich. A little goes a
long way!

Would condensed milk be acceptable in place of the sugar and

evaporated milk for this Sees Fudge Copycat recipe..

The evaporated milk is one of the secrets to smooth fudge. You can
use condensed, but 9/10 times it comes out grainy. (This same See’s
recipe has been in my family for like 50 years – we’ve had a lot of
experience with it!)

I LOVED this recipe! When I was six.

This is nothing more than the pedestrian, run-of-the-mill chocolate-flavored

marshmallow creme ‘fudge’. *urp*

Nothing special to see here folks. Move along…

I give it one star(?) because I’m not sure it’ll let me give zero.

So glad you liked it when you were six! If you are not a fan of it anymore
you are invited to simply not make it.

can’t compare. But my family and I all LOVED it.

I was always told to NEVER make fudge (Or any candy) when it is rainy or highly humid
outside. It affects the quality of it and can make it grainy too.

I have been hearing this lately too! Crazy how weather can affect it so
much!
