I made this recipe for my family. I am English and have lived in the states for years. I've been searching endlessly for a fudge recipe that tastes like true English Fudge (trust me its different) THIS IS IT. Thanks for the great recipe, you made my year (and my sisters)
Hi Cara, You did an excellent job on this video. My Aunt Marie made Oxy Fudge. It's made exactly the same, but you add 1 1/2 bags of semisweet chocolate morsels, a dash of salt and 1 tsp vanilla. It's a killer 😋 So rich you know you need a workout after 2 pieces! Rick is diabetic so I haven't made it in several years. Your Butter Fudge looks really good ❤ ❤Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤ ❤Peggy❤
Let's make me clear. All fudge is butter fudge coz it requires butter in all the recipe, but it will be called chocolate fudge if we add cocoa in it, it will be a vanilla fudge if we add vanilla extract in it, it will be salted caramel fudge if we add salt in it, it will be matcha fudge if we add on matcha powder in it, correct me if i am wrong..
This sounds divine! I love old recipes! I have my cookies, candies and treats all planned out for making and baking this week. I’m hunkering in today and spending it in my kitchen. I’m going to save this recipe, and put it on my list if I have time after I’ve completed my my lists 🙂 thank you for sharing yiur treasured family recipe ♥️🙂
Hunkered down in your kitchen sounds like a great way to spend the day 🧡The weeks leading up to Christmas are filled with fun cookies and treats in our house too. I hope you get a chance to try out my family’s fudge recipe! Let me know how you like it 😊 -Cara
Cara this looks sooooo delicious! 😋 Also, I noticed the style of this video is very well done! I'm always trying to learn from other creators to continually improve my videos as well. You have many camera angles, dead time is removed allowing for a nice paced video, it's detailed enough for even a beginner to follow and your product recommendations are very helpful! I really enjoyed this tutorial, well done! ❤Sarah
Thank you Sarah! 💚💚💚 You are so sweet. Thank you for noticing the video difference. I actually just switched to a new editing software called Premier Pro two videos ago. I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of it. There was definitely a learning curve compared to using Imovie. -Cara
That looks delicious. Thank you for sharing your great great aunts special fudge. My late moms, late friend used to live making chocolate fudge and peanut butter fidge. We always got some for Christmas. I recently found her recipe in my moms recipes ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
Yum chocolate and peanut butter fudge are so good too! We have some family recipes for those flavors as well that we always make. Nothing like the Christmas season for yummy treats 😊-Cara
If this is actually butter fudge, and it certainly looks like it is! Then thank you so much, I used to buy it from a place as a kid and I would spend A LOT of mo yeah on it since I could only buy it when I went to visit my dad once a year. Now people sell “butter fudge” but it is NOT butter fudge. It’s some disgusting clone, or cheap imitation. I am definitely going to try making this
That looks delicious! How well I remember making chocolate fudge with my mom, letting it cool down and then beating like crazy with a wooden spoon for what seemed like forever! But boy that fudge was good!
Oh yum! This looks delish! I love making Christmas goodies and love learning new recipes. I too only make them for the holidays :). Thank you for sharing your family recipe.
Thank you! I feel like making them one time a year also makes it a little more special, because you don’t get to have it all year round. 🧡 Thanks for watching! -Cara
Hello Cara. This looks so good! I hope your family had a joyful Christmas and the New Year brings many blesssings. Maybe next year I will try this recipe for family. They all love fudge❤
YUM!!!! Keeping this recipe, I might try but my daughter is the baker in the family and I know she will try it. I love old recipes, thanks for sharing. Just wondering, could you add cocoa to it and make it chocolate fudge...love your videos!!!
If your daughter makes it, make sure she saves you some to try! 😊😊 I hope you enjoy it! Old family recipes are always the best in my opinion 😉😄 Merry Christmas! -Cara
Looks like Sottish tablet...as a Margaret, I have no idea how you filmed that intro without eating it! I am definitely going to have to try this recipe when the holidays get here!
Oh I definitely ate a lot of it haha. It is very similar to scottish tablet, but softer without any grain texture. At least that has been what the tablet I’ve tried has tasted like. 😊
I will be making this butter fudge recipe soon! Looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing Cara! I just happened to run across your channel! So glad I did! I love Kerrigold butter! I think thst Plugra is my favorite butter! Have you tried Plugra? Let me know! ❤❤😊😊
A thermal gun is horrible for candy making. Its a surface read only. The bottom can be much hotter. A steel probe thermometer is best. You can hold it on the wooden spoon as you stir. I am a chocolatier and never use a thermal gun for any of my cooked candies. I must say though, my thermometer was $500. But you certainly dont have to spend that. Glass is too dangerous as it can break inside your pot.
Don't hold the knife like that when you're cutting the fudge or it could slip and slice your hand. That's what happened to my sister in law on Christmas Day. We had to wait to eat lunch until she came back from having many stitches to her hand. It ended up being late dinner, at 11: 30 pm. We didn't want to eat until she and my brother came home. We ended up going home in the early hours of the morning. Your fudge looks absolutely scrumptious. I'll inform my niece's husband about it. He loves making fudge. That's his favorite thing to make. What's hilarious, we both are diabetics.
Oh no I am so sorry about your sister-in-law! That was very nice of you all to wait for them to eat dinner. It sounds like a Christmas you will not soon forget! 🤗❤️-Cara
There's a dairy store here in Oklahoma and i swear by their butter....any other butter used in a recipe...ill know it and i think the recipe is no good,lol! 😂😂😂
I got so excited until you said you need a mixer. ☹️Well maybe I could hand mix it for 45 minutes 😱? Is that what you said ? If I ever feel real energetic someday, I would like to try it once. That’s a lot of stirring when you’re approaching 70😂. L❤VED YOUR. VIDEO however 🙏🏻.
It would definitely be a workout if you used a wooden spoon, but was how it was traditionally done. So it must be doable 😊. I have not used that method personally though. -Cara
I love your upbeat personality, and ease while showing the recipe. I also love that you had an ad by Ben Shapiro promoting a wonderful alternative to liberal books for children.
Let's make me clear. All fudge is butter fudge coz it requires butter in all the recipe, but it will be called chocolate fudge if we add cocoa in it, it will be a vanilla fudge if we add vanilla extract in it, it will be salted caramel fudge if we add salt in it, it will be matcha fudge if we add on matcha powder in it, correct me if i am wrong..
It depends on who you ask. Ask 10 people and you will probably get 10 different answers haha. Yes to break it down most recipes have the same core ingredients. My family has always called this recipe "Butter fudge" dating back at multiple generations so that is what I will stick with. There are fudge recipes that use sweetened condensed milk and no butter out there too (if you want to get even more confused haha). Any way you want to slice it, it is delicious! I hope you have a wonderful week! 🤗❤️-Cara
@@bluebirdhomestead haha. Dont get me wrong. I am no intention to criticise any. I am just curious. I am Asian so it's exciting to see and to learn other countries traditional sweets and desserts. I would love to make them too. Hence the questions😄. Thank you and wishing you every happiness and prosper life ya! 🌼
WOW, I'm sure it's good, but no way would I make it for my family. I'm positive this is the most unhealthy fudge ever. TY for sharing your family recipe.
