#Vanilla fudge recipe with condensed milk how to#
I am working diligently on a non-white-chocolate version of vanilla fudge (coming soon!), but this recipe is all about how to make the simplest fudge, from sweetened condensed milk. I would not make this with Sunbutter or Nutella, as they're much softer and I suspect you'd have a mess on your hands. This one's for the peanut butter lovers out there. So to keep it from being too soft, you add some confectioners' sugar at the end. The peanut butter fudge has no chocolate in it, which really helps fudge set up. The title of the post is “easy,” after all. The ingredients are super simple, of course. I've also made it with totally cheapo Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, and you know what? Still delicious. I've made it with more expensive bittersweet chocolate (usually Scharffen-Berger), and it's amazing. It sets up quick and easy, and tastes as good as the chocolate you use. We begin with chocolate fudge, since, well, it's a classic. If you're dairy-free, try it and let us know how it goes! I haven't tried any of them with the dairy-free kind, or the whole milk kind, but I have every confidence that they would work that way, too. I only made the recipes with both store-bought sweetened condensed milk and with the homemade variety made with evaporated milk.

These 3 recipes are the very definition of “easy fudge.” They're all 3 made with sweetened condensed milk, and I was actually quite pleased to see that the fudge sets up best … when you use our homemade sweetened condensed milk recipe. All made super easy with sweetened condensed milk. Easy Fudge recipe-3 ways: chocolate fudge, vanilla fudge, peanut butter fudge.
