Five Minute Fudge

Recipes

Jump to Recipe

My Grandma Weaver made the best fudge.  She made peanut butter fudge and chocolate fudge and both were delicious.  Apparently she used the recipe on the Fluff container which suggests using the ‘soft ball test’.  For those of you wondering what that is here’s a quick explanation.  When you’ve boiled your ingredients the suggested time, you drop a couple drips of the hot liquid into a bowl of cold water.  When it cools (after a couple of seconds) take it out of the water and try to roll it into a soft ball.  When eaten, the ball should be somewhat chewy.

I have to admit that I’ve never made fudge using the ‘soft ball test’.  I used a candy thermometer once and that was a big fail.  Good fudge shouldn’t have to be jack-hammered out of the pan, right?

It had been years since tasting my Grandma’s peanut butter fudge when a friend brought some of her own to my daughter’s preschool party.  It was very good and pretty darn close to how I remember Grandma’s tasting.  Imagine how excited I was when I found out that it was microwave-able and only takes 5 minutes to make!  I’ve made it dozens of times since she gave me the recipe and I love how easy it is to make.  I swear one day I will tackle the ‘soft ball test’ but for now I’ll stick with my microwave and perfect fudge every time.

And they're playing Christmas music so that makes it even better!❤️ #blogger #thecraftymiddlesister #lifestyleblog #crafter #diy #gardening #savingmoney #easyrecipes #favoriteproducts
Instagram post 2198029067236549299_7325822474 Some more pics of my Santa mug collection.  The little ones are plastic but I still like them as much as my ceramic ones and would snag them up if I were to find more.  I display the majority of my mugs and Santas in general in my dining room/kitchen.  This Santa is one I made probably 15 years ago or more.  I think he's adorable but I may be a little biased because of that, lol. 🎅
One thing I started doing a couple of years ago is decorating rooms by theme.  It helps take some of the guesswork out of decorating.  I know the Santas go in the dining room and kitchen, snowmen in the living room and this year gingerbread men in the guest bath.  So do you decorate rooms by theme? 🎅⛄🎄 #blogger #comfortabledecorstyle #comfyhome #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #countrystyle #countryhomedecor #vintagestyledecor #vintagehomedecor #vintagehomestyle #antiquehomedecor #decoratingwithantiques #iloveoldthings #diyhomedecor #manufacturedhomeremodel #mobilehomeliving #mobilehomeremodel #thecraftymiddlesister #mobilemakeover #homemakeover #diy #diydecor #diymakeover #christmascrafts #christmasdecor

I love these snowmen and made a different version each year for a couple of years when I was doing craft shows.  Snowmen are a popular collectable.  Do you collect them?  When was the last time you made a real snowman!? #crafting #crafter #fabriccrafter #craftpaint #craftygirl #diy #diyhomedecor #diydecor #comfortabledesignstyle #cozydesignstyle #farmhousedecor #comfydecor #countrydecor #countrydesign #blogger #craftblogger #craftingwithpaint #craftingwithfabric #craftingboss #paintingfun
