- This is a recipe from the 1950's Hershey's Cocoa Box with a few alteration on my part.
I've given the orginal recipe and my own version with substitutions. I sure hope you'll try this fudge recipe even though it takes a long time to make. Just remember to follow the technique exactly and DO NOT STIR UNTIL AFTER THE COOLING IS COMPLETE.
Please let me know if you try this. Many thanks for watching. My website is www.southernfrugal.com - Jak na to + styl
Your mother will be remembered for all her kind words and patience in showing and sharing her
recipes.
I hope she feels the love that everyone has for her. She is dearly missed. Thank you for continuing to share her videos.
I know I miss her. Thank you to her Son for putting this out in time for Christmas. ❤
@@TheWestlandgirl It's from 8 years ago!
I miss her too, I find myself watching her older videos because Phyllis was the best. I can't seem to find a CZcamsr like Phyllis. There are a few out there but when I start to watch them they always want your money, wanting to buy their cookbooks or their merchandise like stickers and t-shirts etc.... Oh well, Phyllis was one in a million there is no one like her. I am sure she and Mr Bucky are happy together in heaven with Jesus.
I know she's gone now, but when I need to feel a little bit of comfort, I turn on one of her videos on here. I love her voice. I loved her heart. Her recipes are good too.
She's gone? Like, no longer with us or gone from you tube? I just found her and I find this news either way very upsetting. 😭
@@jonipinson6653 yes, sadly , she died just after her beloved husband , Mr Bucky. Heartbreaking all around. Such a beautiful, strong, woman.
@@tonifrancis7163 thank you for replying. I later read the comments and found out she had passed. Although I didn't know her, and I just found her, I think the world lost a beautiful soul.
@@jonipinson6653 you are right!
She was such a kind woman. I loved her stories
I made Miss Phyllis’s fudge for Christmas last month, and thought about her as I made it. As an aside let me say that this recipe delivers! The fudge was perfectly creamy ... and unlike any fudge I had ever had before ... way better than store bought. But I liked making it best because i could remember Miss Phyllis’s stories as she demonstrated this ... the story about her friend who burned her leg ... and her mother threatening to take away her own fudge-making privilege. Anyway I only knew Miss Phyllis through the internet so I guess this sounds a little crazy, but I think she was such an excellent teacher with such a kind voice. She was always very thorough in her demonstrations and never egocentric. Her focus was always to communicate the craft and steps of the recipe, never to get attention.
This woman was priceless. Keep her memory alive. She was much admired, loved and missed.
I just made this recipe exactly the way you did. I am 67 years old and have never been able to make one successful batch of fudge ever. It was on my bucket list. I tried this and it came out perfectly!! Oh my goodness dancing the happy dance! My family will have a very fudgy Christmas. Thank you!
I have never seen where you use butter milk
Gosh I miss you and Mr. Buckey! 😔 But I wouldn't wish you back to this crazy world. I'll look you both up when I get to heaven! 😘😇
I really miss her. She had such a calming, gentle way about her. And good recipes!
@@Jan-on1qb She passed away from cancer. Her husband passed away some months before her. Sweet couple.
It's so sad! I loved to watch! ❤
So sad that both passed so close for family.
May She Rest In Eternal Peace.
I miss her, too
I miss both her and Mr Bucky. Thanks to her son who keeps her memories and recipes alive. Rest In Peace and Rise in God’s Glory ♥️
it's Christmas and I always make her fudge and to watch her making this brings me to tears. I love her caring heart, her kindred spirit. Most of all her love of God and Family.
So glad you are continuing to post your mother’s videos. Loved watching them. She was a lovely, talented women with an abundance of information. Please continue to educate us through her videos. Thanks Stephen.
Exactly. Im going to try her fudge recipe for Christmas
Thank you for your videos. I grew up with a drug addicted mother who didn't cook and was not taught how. I am now 40 and my mother is now passed. I can't learn from her if I asked....well your videos are just like the food my grandmother used to make and you are teaching me how to cook. Thank you. You have no idea how much you are appreciated.
That's good why didn't you learn from Gran ? i did ..my old lady was bad coo & drunk too.. i was teaching her by time she was dying
SolarDabs Thompson 💞
SolarDabs, What a precious tribute to this lady. I am sorry for your youthful suffering. Best to you always.
SolarDabs Thompson z&
Oh my gosh, ....
Still missing this adorable couple. Watch and rewatch her channel daily. Has brought me immeasurable comfort, knowledge, & joy. Rest peacefully, sweet spirits.
Please PLEASE Keep your mother alive as long as you can, and I hope your children and grandchildren can understand how so important this is!! I hope you understand how lucky you were to have a mother that you had. My grandmother showed me how to cook in the 60's
If you add milk to the empty pot after you have put the fudge in a pan, it will make the best hot chocolate you have ever tasted. Might want to leave an extra tablespoon in the pot if you want to make a couple cups of hot chocolate. Just let it sit awhile for the fudge to dissolve and the reheat it to drink.
We did that!! and you are right, it was absolutely delicious! thank you for the suggestion.
starbright57 did u really just reply and thank urself? 😂😂😂
no....I guess I thought I was replying to the video. Sorry I upset you.
starbright57 awww no u didnt upset me in any way. Sorry if u thought so or took my comment in bad way. :)
starbright57 I can't thank you enough for this idea! I am trying so hard to make old-fashioned fudge in memory of my mom and send it to my sisters, and I tried very hard to follow everything exactly like this wonderful lady did. The only thing I changed was that I used fine grain light brown organic sugar instead of white refined sugar. I'm trying to get away from the chemicals. I noticed that her fudge was bubbling much faster and intense when she took it off than mine so I waited longer. I did the softball test and it just dissolved. I waited longer and did the test again, and repeated this over and over until my rolling boil was the same intensity as hers and even longer, testing and testing and although the drop formed up a little bit, still no softball. I finally noticed that my rolling boil started to smell like it was threatening to burn so I went ahead and finished the rest of the recipe and instructions to the tee. I'm sad that I couldn't make it work with light brown fine grain sugar, and I was very stressed about having that much sweet around my house since I couldn't give it to my sisters and I'm not supposed to eat sugar. I have no willpower! I certainly couldn't give it away when I can't even make it into a square so this post really brightened my day because I'm going to give it to my loved ones in a jar and tell them to heat up some milk and stir a big old tablespoon of it in for "almost instant" hot cocoa! Thank you thank you thank you!
Wish me luck as when my next paycheck comes I'm going to try again with white sugar.
The other thing that was different is that I didn't have a heavy pot. I used a large enough one but it was very thin stainless steel. I wonder if that could cause the problem.
LOL, that is so cute when Mr Bucky snuck in and got the pot while you were busy.
Boys and girls should both go to a home ec class. Practical skills are so valuable and important in preparing young people for the ups and downs of real life.
I agree these are life skills one needs to know whether one is a guy or gal. When I was in jr high and high school , HomeEc was exclusively for girls but in high school they offered us guys a half year elective class which was a sort of stripped down version of the Girls HomeEc. I enjoyed the class. It was one of the few useful classes I took in school, LOL.
Do they still offer Home EC?
and shop
Now they just prepare them to accept all the perverse things that they're pushing on them such as drag time story hour.
@Cecelia Tkach thank you for saying this because it is true and it is sickening. And I hear that public school was started by the Freemasons. big shock there huh? But that makes sense cuz those people are some messed up God hating something else is I don't know what they are but they're not normal.
I went to High school in the 70's (1974-1978)and we too had to take classes for Sewing, Dance, Sports, and Cooking which was called Home Economics. I believe that they should re-incorporate this course back into the school system. Just like you said the parents don't have time to really teach their children to cook and clean or any of those things any more. I was fortunate to have been able to teach all of my children to do all of these things. Thank you for making your video's because these young women and men really need to learn the basics. Bless you.
I toke home ec. In jr high in 2001. It did me very little good. Helped with sewing but nothing else. I learned most of that stuf from my mom and grandma.
How about a class about God. God should be 1st but is last😭
@@honeybear200 you bet!!❤️
I had no idea Home Ec wasn't still taught! I'm 62 and learned how to cook, sew, etc! They can't sew on a button, mend a seam, or cook anything! They can't "sign" their signature on the dotted line or on a Check. Oh but they CAN type and PRINT like little kids because they removed Cursive Handwriting too at some point? What else have they removed from schools?? I don't get it! Really!!
74-78 me too! Home economic classes started in the sixth grade luckily where I lived. I made a pair of denim jeans when I was only 11 or 12...they were nice too...we made blueberry muffins but we forgot to rinse the blueberries...yup blue muffins....geeze that was prob 1972 or so...🌞
Phyllis, I am so IMPRESSED that you make "real" fudge; not that marshmallow stuff most candy makers put out. Good for you. Thank you for sticking to the tried and true, old-fashioned recipes. Free of all the chemicals found in so much of our modern, prepared foods.
Steven , You had and were blessed with a wonderful mom! I of course never knew your mom but I feel like she could be everyone’s mom. She was so savvy in so many ways, I miss your mom with her cooking ,however We are blessed to have you to generously continue to keep her channel going so we can all enjoy her videos. On a extra note,I appreciate your own videos as well..sharing,cooking and travel and prayer and worship. Have a fantastic holiday season .
The art of making food from scratch is dying I'm so thankful for my grandmother taught me how to cook
Thank you so much for this old recipe!!! NOTHING tastes good anymore with all these microwave shortcuts and marshmallow creme recipes...... YOU are my NEW hero!!
Mr Bucky gets the pot 😋
Just like we used to make growing up except we just used regular milk.
I have tried so many "two-ingredient" or "three-ingredient" recipes, and usually I end up throwing it out. I don't like gooey, gummy fudge. To me, what makes it fudge is that fudgey texture that is hard to describe. A bit of Scottish tablet in it, but creamier, and melts in the mouth. I made some recently and my son and his wife came over for dinner, and they got into it and stood in the kitchen going "mmmmmm", "mmmmmm", and eating piece after piece, and I said "you won't want dinner now," and they said, "It's worth it." A lot of work and effort, but it beats the can-of-frosting-and-peanut-butter abomination. Even commercial fudge is just goo now. I think the beating-the-fudge idea goes back to my childhood when my mother stood there in the kitchen with a concentrated look on her face just beating away.
I have never seen fudge made. And I am 74 years old. After u added the walnuts and the chocolate got shiny, I said “YUM’”out loud. I could almost smell the chocolate. I could almost taste it. I will have to try my hand at making this. Thanks PHYLLIS.
Lol ! Where ya been;under a rock? Wow! Ya have to get out more often.
75 years old and remember using up all our sugar and Hershey cocoa and milk and DOING IT RIGHT for my Mom when she came home from work. I was 10 and had zero guidance. Then I went after a Lemon Meringue pie from the red and white Betty Crocker book.
Thank you for the memories Phyllis!
Never mind the food dear. I watched this to be with you. The food was a bonus.
I am 65 and about to start learning LOTS of cooking from this wonderful lady. I've just never had the time to spend in a kitchen - been too busy making ends meet, then married and kids came along in our older years and we did very simple meals. So it's never too late to start learning new things, Eyes!
I sure miss this sweet lady. Just had to rewatch her video. I learn so much from this wonderful lady’s channel.
I Love this Great Woman! I miss her.. Merry Christmas in Heaven Phyllis and Mr.Bucky..
My mother always made this fudge. It's still my favorite.
I thought I wouldn't watch the whole thing... I watched the whole thing in its entirety... You're amazing...
Miss Phyllis and Mr Bucky…your absence is felt everyday but the memories of you are here in our hearts forever. Thank you for sharing your lives and your love of cooking with all of us. We are so fortunate to have spent this time with you.
🙏🏼🌺🙏🏼
Miss her. Her recipes are wonderful but her voice, demeanor and altogether aura is calming and welcoming
My older sister made this for us when the Wizard of Oz came on every year.Great memories.mmmm...the best.
Phyllis
I just want to thank you for airing this.I went to the store got the ingredients and to make a happy day better I called my sister, which we both agree we should do more often.Went down memory lane today.I'm 62 so remembering back to 5 and 6years old was so much fun , good times.Wish me luck! Amazing what your video inspired in me!
@@kimberlysmith8299 This made me remember my older Sister making this in an Iron skillet! We hardly EVER got anything like this! There were 3 of us girls. I'm the youngest, now 67 years old! My Sister's are 73 & 74! We had 5 older Brothers! What wonderful memories!! Thank you Miss Phyllis!! Bee blessed
I think we made fudge for the yearly showing of wizard of oz too!!
We made chips & dip
Onion powder mixed w a brick of philly cream cheese mixed w hand mixer. Lol. Nights of Wizard of Oz & Cinderella
I graduated in 2005, and we still took home economics. We actually had 2 years of it in junior high, and two years of it in high school. We were taught how to sew, how to cook, how to balance a check book, how to entertain, how to grill, some old fashioned cleaning recipes, how to do laundry, how to spot clean stains. I mean, it was a very awesome class for me, I loved it. But my teacher called me Desiree for two years, though my name was on her roster lol. I didn't even correct her, I just answered to it lol. And it actually became my nickname for a long time, so funny. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, I haven't tried it yet. But I intend to do so very soon. It looks delicious.
at my school we never had home ec. they got rid of it as well as Shop unless thats what you were doing for a living (as in vocational). and they defenitely did not require it.
yeah i think every school district is different. Twenty years ago i went to three different high schools (military brat)and each one had different rules and situations. One didnt have home ec at all, one did and it was strongly recommended, one did and it was completely optional. None were mandatory though.
Destiny Webb I think they should still have home economics.
Destiny Webb i got my college degree in home ec in the mid 70's.
Destiny Webb Such a funny thing about the teacher calling you Desiree!
Phyllis is the first CZcams cook I watched and I loved her sweet countenance and gentle soft voice . She’s so missed
Thank you for keeping the channel going! I love watching Phyllis show us her wonderful recipes. May you be blessed with other wonderful memories.
Thanks so much, Caryn!
Thanks for keeping this up....she's still a blessing
My mother made this fudge for years but I never really learned how to make it because I thought she would always be there. My attempt to make fudge resulted in gooey carmel. I am so happy to have found your video. You explain how to make it so well. Thank you so much
RIP Miss Phyllis ! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe and memories!
Sunday was 'fudge day' at our house. Roast beef or baked chicken for dinner at 2:00, corn fritters for supper, and Mom's Hershey's Fudge for desert. Often it was he day CBS ran the "Wizard of Oz" on TV.
Bill Smith What a wonderful memory!🌼
I love corn fritters-my mom did too! Nice memories.

Thank you for this recipe and instructions on how to make it. My mom made this for us growing up. We would fight for the spoons and pans. Brought back pleasant memories of my youth when your husband took the pan. I lost my mom a little over a year ago and Likr you mentioned the recipe is no longer on the can. Even if it was I don't think I would've remembered how to do the soft ball technique. I tried it and it came out perfectly. I have to confess it brought tears to my eyes. Not only did it taste like mom's, it brought back such great memories of her. Thank you again for the recipes and the memories.
I use to make the fudge with my Aunt. We did a lot of cooking together. My Grandmother also cooked with us. Pies, cookies, dressing, rice pudding, popcorn balls, fudge and peanut brittle.
Phyllis, you are adorable! "Have I made mistakes of course I have!" I love people who admit they aren't perfect. I Wish you and Mr. Bucky a Merry Christmas!
Phyllis, thank you for this! Between your kitchen and your way of speaking you gave me a deep sense of my grandmom's kitchen from when I was growing up. I've had a craving for fudge the last week and when I came across your video I finally decided it was time to make my own. I followed your recipe except I used regular whole milk. To add to the conversation I am a 39 year old man who was born and raised in Virginia, so while I didn't have to attend home economics in school, I had a generous grandmother and mother who were happy to teach me how to navigate in the kitchen. Between their lessons and your video I have another dish in my personal collection. Thank you!
I wish they still required Home Economics and Shop for all kids in school, it's such a confidence builder to know how to take care of yourself.
I had Home Economics, but we didn't cook.....sewing is all I remember doing.....
@@TheKentuckylady717 I thank Phyllis' son for keeping her videos up. SHE was a very hard worker. And a loving and sharing person! Still miss her videos, helped me ground my life a few times.
Thank you.
My grandmother made this for us and would sometimes add peanutbutter and a little splash of Bourbon! Hers was the best (southern recipes!)
Thank you so much Phyllis....I have worked on my fudge recipe for 30 years to get it so very smooth that it almost isn't like old Fashion Fudge any more. My oldest son of 10 ask me to make him some old fudge like I used too. I just laughed because I thought I had been making better Fudge over time. Your fudge is what he wants me to make. Old Fashioned Fudge. He LOVES it.... I like how you talk while doing your video most people cut out and that is not realistic. God Bless you.
I love how these old videos pop up on my feed! I’m sure my mom and Mrs Stokes are eating fudge in heaven!! God bless you, Steven! You are keeping her in the present and I appreciate it!
Back in the day things were simpler and better I remember those days and greatly miss them.
I’m going to try this fudge at Xmas. 🎄🌲
That looks beautiful
This is an excellent recipe! I have made it for the last 5 years every since I first watched this video. I’m so glad your mom posted so many of her recipes. She is greatly missed. I’ll be making this with my daughter, sister, mother and grandmother this weekend when they get here. So excited !! Merry Christmas 🎄
I love your videos. They take me back to my younger years growing up. Back then we never bought ready made sweets at the store. If we wanted sweets in our house we had to make them from scratch. Just like this fudge. We made this fudge a gazillion times I swear. We never used to even measure after awhile of making it. We just dumped ingredients in lol. Might have to boil less or more and we didn’t have a thermometer. We always just used the water/soft ball stage. A trick if you boil too long by accident - pour it over some ice cream. It hardens like a chocolate caramel. So good that way too. . I grew up in a family of ❤️10. 😍. So one pot would be gone in no time.
Thank you for honoring your Mother by continuing with her recipes.She was such a good teacher& her videos were right on target. I know you miss her; we all do but fortunately we can still watch her videos & listen to her sweet voice.Thsnk you & God bless you,Stephen.Thanks for the authentic fudge recipie;can't wait to try it. 16:25
I really miss you so much! So many of us loved you.. but your son is doing a great job honoring you.
We used to use this recipe as kids. Mom would do all the rest if we’d shell the hard to open black walnuts. The best fudge ever.
Phyllis yours is the best video on fudge making I've ever watched. Thx so much. I agree with you - this old fashioned fudge is sooo much better than the fudge you get from "marshmallow" or "evaporated milk" fudge recipes. I Have never made fudge with buttermilk, but I will try your version next batch.
It’s all good, but the old fashioned fudge I like the best.
I am so glad I found this thank you so much for showing it from start to finish can’t wait to make it
Watching Phyllis and making this fudge tonight, I really miss her, big hugs to the family.
Gonna make this today for my 81 yr old mom whose going through a rough patch.I would hand her my phone and she watch ur videos while I made it!!!RIP!We miss u!!🌹🙏😪
I could seriously just sit and listen to you all day, you have a very relaxing voice :) When you say about home ec and then about the young ones now being proficient with electronics, it is all well and good being able to work a computer, but I would much prefer to be able to keep my home nicely and cook well, but Im kind of old fashioned. Im only 37, yet I cringe at the younger generations sometimes, so very many have no idea about keeping a home or cooking. Sad times really. But Im absolutely going to try this recipe :)
Thank you for your kind words and you are to be commended for your attitude toward the home and cooking good food.
Phyllis Stokes This is fantastic! What a wave of nostalgia. I made this all the time when I was young. Along with Scotch Shortbread different cookies. My grandpa always made this at Christmas too. It was his specialty. He always added a bit of cinnamon! Not my fave but you didn't want to disappoint Grandpa. And it still melted in your mouth just the same lol. Thankyou!😍🍫Btw-do you know the one where you put peanut butter and oats in here and drop by tbls? Or chow mein noodles and peanuts? Yummy too!😎
Deat Ms Stokes, my mother had this fudge recipe in her childhood and thanks to you today I was able to recreate this childhood favorite for her... May Our Lord Bless You ENORMOUSLY. Greetings from Costa Rica
We love this recipe
This is the best Fudge Recipe in the Whole World, I didn't change a thing I did it exactly as she explained using the 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 1/2 cup Buttermilk and the 3/4 c of Walnuts. it is the creamiest texture and milk chocolate flavor. This will be my go to recipe when I want chocolate fudge from now on. Thank you so much Phyllis for this recipe...it is the bombdiggity!!
omg soooo good
Does it set up? I haven't found one yet that sets up and isn't mushy
Phyllis!.. So Glad Mr. Bucky got to lick the pan!!! What a Treat!! Love your Recipe!! You’re The Best Teacher!!!🙏❤️🙌🤗
Phyllis, you have an avid fan in Michigan. I love your videos; this one in particular. It takes me back to happier moments in my childhood (1950's) with my Mother, older sister and younger sister taking turns stirring this fudge. And we ruled when my Father and brothers came home and wanted some. Hugs for the tender reverie.
One of my earliest memories is sitting on my mother's kitchen stool off to the side of the stove and watching her make fudge. Her recipe called for Baker's Unsweetened Baking squares and I've never used Hershey's cocoa, but next time I sure will! Thanks for reminding me how good real old fashioned fudge is and how worth the time it takes to cook it it really is!
Miss Phyllis, I still miss you. It’s funny when someone touches your life without ever meeting you. Thank you for your spunk, you lightened my heart and brightened my days.
Several years ago I inherited my grandfather's recipes for chocolate fudge and peanut butter fudge. My mother was making them but could no longer do it so it fell upon me to take on the task. I had no trouble with the peanut butter fudge but the chocolate fudge was another story. I tried for a couple years to get it right with no success. I turned to you tube to be able to see how it was made and that is when I first found Mrs. Phyllis. I followed right along with her while she made the fudge and for the first time I finally made a good batch of fudge. So now every time I make fudge for Christmas she will forever be in my thoughts and heart. I love and thank you Mrs. Phyllis for everything you have done and for all the lives you have touched with your love and generosity and knowledge. You will be GREATLY missed!!
I love the recipe but I loved your interaction with your husband at the end more! 28:36 take the pot sounds like something I would say... and then a little later on the comment about him having the pot was priceless! love this and love you!
I am a man but always loved when my aunt made it when I was a child. The women today won’t pass on this stuff but I will to my daughters and grand kids. Thank you. Made two batches and it’s fantastic! Thank you
Thank you, Ms. Phyllis. Sure do miss you. Enjoyed every minute.
Written recipe at 29:00. Aloha ~Dionne
I so do miss Phyllis Stokes... her precious personality, care in demonstrating recipes and very clear directions helped me make my Family very satisfied... her whole self, I personally miss very much, even though we've never met in person.
I graduated in 1995 only during Middle School we had home economics, for half the 7th grade anf 8th grade, both boys and girls. Only half the year, because the other half we all, boys n girls did, industrial education, or stem lab, engineering. They both were very rushed, 1 hour a week of each. So it wasn't much to learn, the teacher had little time, so in 7th grade we cooked a few things, like choc chip cookies, 8th grade, we learnt how to basic stitch... Very basic. I wish it was more, i wanted to learn. In industrial ed, we made a candle holder, wood candle holder. Using the wood cutter, and that was fun too, but again, very limited... I love Phyllis and her teaching
I'm going to be 59 on 10/01 and I'm really determined to learn how to make a few things that I never actually attempted while my mother was here to help me. I'm having a terrible time with rolled biscuits! I can't get them to come out light and fluffy! I watched my mother make biscuits so many times and I want one of THOSE! So now people nowadays make this no-cook version of fudge but Momma cooked hers and it was the best. She made chocolate bread pudding that was really delicious and I have the recipe but it's hit and miss. But I've got red chicken stew down pat but I don't know of anyone outside the family that knows about that! :)
I sure do miss Miss Phyllis and Mr. Bucky. I am so grateful she made videos so we can keep on enjoying her and her recipes ❤
I love watching your mom make here recipes. She reminds me of my mom and here cooking. 1 year my mom was getting frustrated and tired of stirring the fudge until the shine was gone. My dad piped up that she was just getting weak. on the next batch of fudge my mom gave it to him and said here you do it! He stirred and stirred forever but finally got it done. He said that it wasn't that hard. He then left the kitchen after taking some of my mom's wooden spoons. He came back up in just about the right time to stir the next pot. He brought up his drill with him, my mom asked him just what did he think he was doing and he replied that he was going to use his drill as he had chucked several of her spoons to fit the drill. Worked like a champ! Wished they were around to relive some of my favorite family traditions.
This is how my Mother made fudge, and she would beat tbe tar out of it. Lol. After it set up and it was cut she would layer it between wax paper inside a tin to "cream". Best fudge ever.
betsey stewart in
My grandma use to make this fudge!! I think she used Carnation canned milk. I tried to make this years ago and it came out a few times but without ever making it with my grandmother I really didn’t know how to do it exactly. Now with your help I will try again and teach my girls!! Thank you so much, this really is the best fudge ❤️❤️❤️
My granny used Carnation cream also and so do I.. I was the only one that she wanted to have her recipes when she passed. God bless her. I still make most of them today for family get togethers and it's so very special to all of us. I love this video!
Made this again this year. My family has to have this fudge. Thanks again Miss Phyllis. I bet you are making some amazing food in your heavenly kitchen. Bless you and thank you!
Yes, Thank You So Much for continuing to post Your Sweet Mothers Video's/Recipes ❤🙂
I remember my daddy making this when I was kid. He never measured anything which drove me nuts when i attempted to make it myself after I grew up. He put the sugar and coco and salt in the sauce pan and mixed it up well before adding the milk. This was so he didn't have to fight the powder bubbles floating on top. He also added a bit (1/8 t?) cream of tartar to it. He didn't like soft fudge. I think that also made it set up faster, because I don't remember him having to stir it much before it became dull. Sometimes he added a couple large (mixing type) Tablespoons of peanut butter to it too along with the vanilla. Then let it set up in a plate. YUM! I have been looking for this for so many years. Thank you so much for sharing it!
+Crafty Chrystal my dad makes it like Phyllis, and I've been trying the last few days. I've read you can add cream of tartar, or a few Tablespoons of Karo to it. This helps with sugar crystals not forming, which happened to mine Saturday. Maybe tonight will be my fourth test batch, and I'll try some Karo!
+countryboy158 Hey, come to think of it, I believe he did add a tablespoon of Karo! Thanks for mentioning that! And good luck with your next try! The cream of tartar makes it harder so leave it out if you like soft fudge.
This is a great tutorial. I've been wanting to make homemade fudge and when I tried it came out much too soft. It was really helpful to watch someone cook it all the way through instead of just reading the recipe, and now I'm anxious to try again with the recipe in your video.
sure needed to see Ms. Phillis make this. because I sure miss her. She was and still is "One In A Million" God Bless you Ms. Phillis and Mr. Bucky. Gone but Never Forgotten....
I only just found these videos. I'm so sorry your mum has passed away. She's so patient and knowledgeable. God bless her and you and your family. I'm going to watch as many of these videos as I can.
Seeing how much time, effort, expertise, and not to mention expense from good ingredients goes into making fudge from scratch, I understand why there are so many fudge recipes out there that involve microwaving things like canned frosting and marshmallow cream. But oh, the real stuff is worth it!
My Mom ALWAYS made the Hersheys fudge. I love it! I even loved the "sugar" version. I sure do miss her.
30 years ago today my dear old Dad passed. I used to make this fudge with my Dad as a little kid!! When we sold the house this recipe got lost and that was always something that made me sad. Seeing this video tonight was very touching for me. I know you too are passed but wherever you are I give you thanks for this lovely video. ❤
Thank you so much for Sharing your recipes my grandma died at the age of 54 in 2008 and she never wrote down any of her recipes you’re recipes are the closest how she would make it especially the fudge and divinity thank you 🙏🏼
I cannot wait to try your version ! I love how you explain everything. Thank you
My oldest sister loves fudge and has a birthday coming up in a few days. I'm gonna try this because your instruction was so clear and detailed, I have confidence I can be successful. Thanks, Phyllis!
She is my kind of teacher even though she's passed, what a wonderful woman she is. I'm so sorry she had such a painful disease before her release. GOD bless all of her family. Thank you for sharing her with so many of us.
I dare say this is the best video on making REAL fudge on CZcams, THANK YOU
I remember back in the 70's taking sewing (i was terrible at that, still can't sew a thing) in junior high. In high school I took home economics (cooking/baking). It was fun, cause we got to eat what we made and I learned a lot. It's true, the young people today don't know how to cook basic things or want to try. They prefer junk food, pre packaged chemical laden food. I'm glad I grew up in the 70's and learned from watching my Grandmother. My husband loves home cooked meals and baked goods from scratch. #lovethe70"s, #lovebeingdomesticated, #cherishmemories, #being a homemaker.
Lila, thanks for all your comments.
Maybe I should of said "most young people" I know, don't know how to cook basic things. I am thrilled that you love to cook and you are one of the exceptions. I truly believe one of the reasons my marriage has lasted is that I cook and bake for my Husband. He loves it. And I enjoy doing it for him. I guess you can call me an old fashioned wife. Best of luck to you. You are not a kitchen witch. :)
I'm old enough to be your Mother, so excuse my old age when I was commenting. I'm just glad you didn't cuss at me! lol. Have a great weekend and Happy Cooking. :)
I had no idea the recipe was on the box I make my fudge with evaporated milk and walnuts or almonds everyone loves it!
oh, and another thing. I started making the fudge realizing that my meat thermometer was not a candy thermometer so I sent my husband to the store. He took too long, so I followed your instructions with dripping fudge into water. It worked. It worked because you showed all of how the ball is suppose too feel and look. The fudge it perfect. God gave you a talent. You really are an excellent teacher. Thank you so very very much.
Phyllis, I am so excited to make this!! I did grow up with a mother that worked the PM shift so as you mentioned did not receive allot of cooking instructions. I am 65 and have never made fudge. You definitely look like the expert fudge maker...I really appreciate all of the tips. I wish I could meet you in person and give you a big hug because you are a special lady. Thank you, sincerly, Jeanine
I just finished a batch of chocolate and pecan fudge and earlier made a batch of chocolate black walnut fudge. Planned to make up some valentine gift boxes. The black walnut fudge turned out great! Waiting on the pecan fudge to harden. Thanks for this recipe
I just found your channel Phyllis and have been binge watching you. I love your strong, wise personality. I've learned a lot from you just by watching your video. Thanks for uploading these awesome videos.

First Stephan, thank you for keeping your mother on line to keep her recipes and memory alive. Your mother is surely proud of your accomplishments and continuing the site. Second, I enjoy seeing you continue and learning so much from you. Travel, recipes, thoughts and words from the Bible. GOD bless you and your family. Diane from MD. (Your mother's age,3 months apart)
Thank you, Diane!
Thank You. I have been subscribed to your channel for a year and I typed in the you tube search cocoa fudge " and I was so happy to see that You had the original recipe . I have tried the newer easier fudge recipes but they have never held a candle to just good old time " cocoa fudge" . ! Thanks making this tonight or tomorrow.
The Best video on CZcams for making old fashion Fudge
You did a great job You are a natural teacher thank you
My Mama made fudge at Christmas. She'd always let me lick the spoon and the pot. I did the same for my children . It made many happy happy memories. Thank you for filming this.
Oh, I'm so sorry she's passed. I only just recently found her videos and was watching this one to make sure I didn't over stir in the final step. I want to say Thank You to whoever is maintaining her videos. It seems she was a very gentle soul with a lot of wisdom and I'm glad that even though she's gone, her knowledge and warmth are still accessible.
Thank you!
I' ve been making the Hershey's fudge for over 45 years but never used buttermilk, going to try this next time!
I have also made for 60 years and always used carnation evaporated milk is always very creamy and smooth. I started making the fudge when I was 12 yrs old. My older cousins would have me to make fudge for their boyfriends overseas in military and take credit for it when they came home they found out the truth I had made it LOL
Me too, I think we always used whole milk in the old fashioned fudge or canned, but I trust this is excellent.
Good to know. I don’t usually have buttermilk at home but I always have evaporated milk. Do you use one 12oz can undiluted? She used 1 1/2 cup of buttermilk here I think? Would you use the same amount of whole milk? Thanks!
@@snorchez I've always used 1 1/2 cups whole milk
There’s something magical about buttermilk. It makes everything better. Cakes, cornbread and now candy🥰
You come to mind often...So glad to see you tonight..."Merry Christmas Phyllis'..love to you
This video was made in 2013.

I had just started watching her video's and then I find out she has passed. I know she has taught me so much about cooking and I will continue to watch her, I really miss her, such a sweet soul.
when i was in junior high, my home economics class even taught us how to wash the dishes correctly. it was invaluable and taught me many lessons. too bad they don't teach that anymore.
