My Secret Can’t Fail Fudge Recipe Revealed!

December 3, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

So I have this secret fudge recipe on a scrap of printed paper from 12/9/99. It was a printout that I have held on to dearly.

Making fudge every Christmas has become “my thing”. People wait for it, beg for it, and demand the secret recipe. It was always my special thing, so I never divulged it. Giving them my famous fudge, ready-made was my gift.  I would experiment every Christmas making different flavors and adding different ingredients to the base recipe.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped making it, I had lost the recipe, I searched online and could not find anything similar.  Then this week, I found the recipe pushed to the back of my cupboard. I decided to google it again to see if there was a substitute for the marshmallows as I could only find mixed bags of Vanilla and Raspberry ones.

Here is my scrap of paper, 21 years old with my hand scribble for Australian supplies, note the 90cents for a bag for marshmallows, now selling for $2-4 depending on the brand.    At $4 a bag I didn’t want to lose 1/2 of them to raspberry ones, I could not use.  (unless making raspberry fudge of course)

Anyways to cut a long story short it turns out this recipe is carnations very very common recipe!! all these years I have been hanging on to it, like treasure and now thanks to modern-day internet it is literally everywhere.  So technically it is not my secret recipe anymore, or maybe just a secret that this is the recipe I use.

Here is the original vintage recipe advertisement for Can’t fail fudge.

Here is the recipe is written out

4 cups of mini vanilla marshmallows =  or 150g chopped

2/3 cup of evaporated milk

1/4 cup of butter

1 1/2 cups of sugar

1/4 ts salt

12 ox of Semi sweet chocolate chips or a 375g family block minus 1 row (this row always falls into my mouth)

1 ts vanilla extract

1/2 cup of nuts chopped

Variations, add 1/2 cup of anything else dry,  raisins, coconut, etc  I have added 2tbs of alcohol with no issues for a boozy fudge.

some variations are

rum and raisian fudge,

White chocolate chips for a White fudge, add cranberries or cherries for a festive taste.

White chocolate and peppermint essence for peppermint fudge.

Oreo fudge, white chocolate and crushed biscuits stirred through

Have fun and play around with flavour combinations
