It’s kind of sad that fudge has become one of those lost foods that people enjoy, but don’t bother to make.

About a month ago I intended to make a triple batch of my fudge brownies, but blew the butter measurement (put in 1 lb instead of 1 cup) and wound up making a sextuple batch. My grandchildren were thrilled to learn of my error because it sure works in their favor!
Needless to say, I've still got plenty of fudge brownies in the freezer - close enough to fudge to celebrate National Fudge Day!

I always make my own fudge. Double layer PB and chocolate.
...not particularly white choc.

I've watched fudge being made at little shops in tourist towns. It seems like a complicated process. Is it?

A bit tedious because you have to watch it and stir frequently, but not complicated.

Thanks. Good to know. Maybe I'll take a crack at it over the holidays...

The hardest part for me, with the old recipes, was determining the soft ball stage with a glass of water.

I can do that, but a candy thermometer makes it much easier.The hardest part for me, with the old recipes, was determining the soft ball stage with a glass of water.

I use the Original See's Fudge that I found online.
Beware it makes 5 pounds of fudge.
I have been told you can freeze fudge but why ruin a good batch of fudge?
There are several recipes for micro wave fudge online,, they are quick fix if you want a quick small batch.

I’ve been making fudge since I was 13 years old. I make it in a black cast iron frying pan. Several relatives count on it for Christmas and Valentine Day gifts.
I’ve made so much of it over the years that I don’t even care to eat it anymore.

Way back in the early 50s, we had a neighbor lady who would watch us 3 kids when our parents had other plans. She would usually make a small batch of vanilla fudge to keep us entertained. I can still see the small serving dish she poured the fudge into before it cooled enough to cut. Great stuff!
Thank you Mrs Anderson!
