Mimi’s Old Fashioned Homemade Fudge

December 8, 2018 by Char

homemade old fashioned fudge

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker’s Mimi (grandmother) when I lived in Atlanta and worked at the Blue Rooster Cafe in Lilburn, GA.  Fudge was not sold at the cafe, I just made it in the back for the staff. On one such occassion, I had a faccident (fudge making accident) and burned my arm really bad and I still have the scars to prove it! Regardless, this is some of the best fudge I’ve ever had. It’s the real deal. Thank you, Mimi!

  • 1 C evaporated milk

Stir butter, sugar, cocoa & salt in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add milk and stir with a wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved. Cook stirring constantly until candy forms a soft ball stage when a small amount is dropped into cold water. Once soft ball stage is reached, set pot into an ice water bath and beat until thick. Add 1/4 C of corn starch and nuts and beat well. Spread into a parchment lined pan to cool. When completely cooled, cut into squares and enjoy.
