There’s a reason fudge tastes like home.
Not because it’s fancy—but because it’s stirred with patience, cut into squares with care, and wrapped in wax paper like a promise.
This is Mom’s Fudge—the same recipe she made every Christmas, every birthday, every time someone needed a little sweetness. No thermometer. No fuss. Just smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate fudge with a hint of vanilla and a dusting of nostalgia in every bite.
It’s the kind of treat that appears in Tupperware on your doorstep after a hard day, or stacked in a holiday tin with a handwritten note. And the best part? You can make it in under 30 minutes with just 4 ingredients—no stand mixer, no candy school, just love and a wooden spoon.
Let’s bring a little of that kitchen-table magic to your home.
