Just like Grandma used to make. Amazing flavor! I used evaporated milk like my Grams instead of cream. The family was elated to taste this delicious fudge again. Perfect Penuche!
i had to make this twice. the first time it was gritty and fell apart, but i remelted it and added more cream and it turned out great

I have searched high and low for a Penuche recipe that comes close to that my father made when I was growing up. This is it! I also made a second batch and varied this recipe by adding maple extract and it tasted like maple sugar candy. My family has gone nuts over this recipe.
I made this w/ peanuts. It was very easy and quick. Tasty too. Pretty sweet though.
Just like Grandma's. I have been looking for this recipe forever. Thank you soooo much.
WAY too much brown sugar! Not too bad as far as taste but the texture was not fudge-like at all... It was very grainy and was basically a pan of sugar. Next time I'll try using less sugar and a little more butter.
I used fat free half-and-half and it turned out quite well -- not quite as creamy as I would have liked but this was possibly due to boiling or beating it too long.
This fudge came out so bad I had to throw the whole batch in the trash. It was still sugar/gritty after letting it cook to the right temp. Even the flavor was not that great, and it requires way too many nuts!

This rich, chocolaty fudge is so easy to make.
This fudge is sinfully rich but a snap to make.
See how to make fun, festive confetti bites!
