I often made this creamy fudge for my middle-school students. I make it for Christmas Open Houses at the studio. It adapts easily to additions, such as walnuts. Because I don’t like it so sweet, I add an extra 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate but then 2 ounces less milk chocolate. It's an old recipe, so you'll no longer find a single 13 ounce Hershey bar.
In a large pot, mix the following ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk (it has to be whole)
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup real butter (preferably unsalted)
Stirring, bring to a boil and boil for two minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add:

Stir until melted and smooth. Add nuts if using (I love black walnuts).
Pour into a buttered 12 x 16 inch pan or similar. Don't use a glass dish. Chill until set, usually overnight. Cover with aluminum foil. Keeps forever, but it won't last that long.

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!!!!
Can you (or anyone) explain my need to chase homemade fudge with orange juice??? Isn't that a weird thing ... but one of my fave combinations!!!
"Keeps forever, but it won't last that long" ... ya think???
My students would collect black walnuts for me in the early autumn and I would add them to this fudge. Black walnuts are really good in apple cake, too.
If I were asked what I would want as my last piece of candy; it would definitely be homemade fudge. Nothing like it and never imitated!
Thanks

I'll eat it on Sundays. They don't count as part of Lent. They are still Feast Days.

We INDULGE! God didn't fast and sacrifice when he created the WORLD. He INDULGED! Think about it. He went all out. So should we. Screw LENT. Be happy. "Make a joyful noise unto our Lord and Savior." And that "noise" is chewing. It's food. It's sharing that food.
God is love.
Lent isn't about FASTING. It should be about CELEBRATION. And SHARING.
Our economy is in a state of "Lent." Is that what we want? I don't think so. Make FUDGE. Share it with others. Screw communion and dried bread wafers.
Let's make fudge the new manna.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to live Lent in solidarity with people who really don't have enough to eat.
When I serve this at open houses, it disappears and people actually "moan" with pleasure when they eat it. Music to any cook's ears.
