Fudge Fudge Fudge

One of my fondest memories growing up was helping my grandpa make fudge. He always did it around Christmas to pass out to neighbors (and always enough for us to take some home too), but sometimes he’d surprise us by picking up the supplies for it at the store while we were staying over with him on random weekends throughout the year.

Grandpa’s been gone for many years now and though he had the recipe written down it seems to have been lost. I’ve been sent copies of what was supposedly the original, but when I’ve gone to make it they turn out awful. I remember the techniques and the ingredients, but not the amounts or times that Grandpa used.

I’ve made it kind of a mini mission to try out as many fudge recipes as I can until I find the same one or one close enough to his! I remember he used gigantic bars of plain Hershey’s chocolate, chocolate chips, walnuts, marshmallows (that got melted down), and condensed milk. I’m determined — I want my kids to try it too!
