Some recipes are more than just instructions—they’re a legacy. My grandma’s old-fashioned fudge was the kind of treat that brought the whole family together. The moment the rich aroma of cocoa filled the kitchen, we knew something special was about to happen. Unlike modern fudge recipes loaded with shortcuts, this one stays true to tradition—no condensed milk, no shortcuts, just pure, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate bliss made the way it was meant to be.
This classic stovetop fudge has the perfect balance of deep chocolate flavor, smooth texture, and just a hint of nostalgia. Make it once, and you’ll never let this recipe go!
Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter. Set aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until no lumps remain. This helps distribute the cocoa evenly.
