My favorite quick fudge is 2 Cups chocolate chips ( or any flavor you like) , dash salt , 1 can condensed milk (NOT evaporated) and microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until melted. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla and pour into greased or foil lined 8 in square pan and put in fridge. Truly No Fail!!
Like you said Ms. Paula, never give up on the recipe, keep trying until you get it the way it’s supposed to be. That what my wife always did. I always enjoyed her first time try’s that goofed. They were still delicious 😋
Paula dont forget the weather can keep a good batch of fudge from being what its supposed to be!! Its raining all over & rain is the enemy to making goood fudge!
I live in FL where our weather is so unpredictable, when I tried a recipe similar it didn’t set and it might even be that I didn’t have the fudge hot enough or I added too much milk, fudge is a commitment for sure 😝 ❤
@@knowledgetracker that has to be why it failed on a few attempts!! I assumed it was me with my bad measuring (I add a bit more of this/that & that gets me in trouble w candy/baking) 😝 I’m across on the other coast, near Boca orig from Port St Lucie
This recipe is very similar to the recipe I do only I start with 3 cups of milk or semi chocolate chips, 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine, dash salt, 1 can sweetened condensed milk (in place of your sugar and evaporated canned milk), stir til melted smooth, add 1 tsp vanilla, take off heat and add 1 cup mini marshmallows and 1 c chopped nuts. No need to melt marshmallows as this makes rocky road fudge. I have made it many times for years over the holidays for gifts and it never fails me, as you say, keep stirring and use med. heat. Love you Paula.
Waiting too long between adding each ingredient can also effect the outcome. Chances are the recipe took her longer than 5 minutes. And yes, the constant stirring would be a big factor. I've had chocolate freeze up before into one big ball. You have to add a bit of liquid to get smooth out. Being on the heat too long without stirring can result in a hard ball but it can be fixed with a little patience. Pecans or walnuts are great in this fudge!😋
It took me more than five minutes to get the milk, butter and sugar to 234f, Idk if it's my location or because I have an electric stove. It turned out really good, best chocolate fudge I ever made.
I just love Paula, I've been following her since she started, remember seeing her on talk shows & news in the beginning I'm from the south and love to cook she's the perfect person to learn from ♥️😉
This looks and sounds so quick and easy! If there weren't a banana pudding in the fridge, I'd be trying this for some ball game I hear about coming up today
I wonder about the heat level Ann used. That can make a big difference if the heat is too high. I prefer a hard fudge though. Do you have a recipe for that type?
I've often come across a recipe that was great 👍, but didn't turn out the second time 🤣. It's all about the temperature and ratio of ingredients you add at a time. 😋
When i was 12 years old, back in 1959, i made fudge from a Hershey recipe i believe, that was just sugar, evaporated milk,cocoa, butter, vanilla. NO MARSHMALLOWS, OR CORN SYRUP! It was boiled to softball stage. Then beat it until cooled and thick. Where is that recipe today?
This is not Paula's recipe. It came straight from the can of carnation milk decades ago. The only difference is Paula added 2 EXTRA tablespoons of butter and that is the mistake. Her fudge was too soft even after letting it set because of her doubling the butter. And note Paula's recipe does not even mention letting the fudge set at all. So of course that leads to failure Just use the original Carnation milk recipe fudge. It is fail proof. Just Google it.
If you're using the wrong butter that can be the culprit. Paula's recipe on the website just says butter but is it salted or unsalted? The margarine vegetable oil spreads won't work so well with fudge.
Being in a profession where following directions is key for my clients' success, it has really gotten bad the last 5 years. People don't follow directions. I question if they can even read. I'm retiring soon...Lord help us!
Only use name-brand, quality milk-chocolate chocolate chips. Off-brands or store brands are not as good of a quality chocolate and will not melt like you need it to.
The ingredients heat up faster in a skillet than a pot. You can have more consistent heat in the wider surface. Maybe that's how she was able to cook it in 5 minutes. The cast iron skillet will maintain the heat and each ingredient was able to melt or dissolve quickly as they were added. Makes you wonder if the recipe signified what cooking vessel to use.🤔
Too soft because she added 2 extra tablespoons of butter from the original Carnation milk recipe. And her recipe NEVER mentions letting the fudge set for a few hours. Just Google the original recipe from Carnation milk can. It is delicious and fir and quick..
It is probably boiling it too long and the chocolate is changing forms. It is like when making No Bake Oatmeal Cookies, You need to boil that recipe for 1 Full Minute! Not a moment longer. Otherwise the cookies could turn out too dry and crumbly.

The quickest fudge is 2 ingredients 1 jar of 12 oz of peanut butter and a can of vanilla frosting heat both in the microwave and mix together in a large bowl and put in fridge for about 1 hour makes great creamy fudge
She stole recipe from Carnations milk can but doubled the amount of the butter. And her recipe NEVER even mentions letting the fudge set for 2 hours. Just Google and use the Carnations milk can recipe. It is fast and foolproof.
Paula used the original carnation milk recipe on the back of their can and claimed it as her own. The mistake Paula did was doubling the amount of butter. That makes it to soft. Also her recipe does not even say at all to let the fudge set up for 2 hours. Google and use the original Carnations milk recipe. It is foolproof and delicious and 5 minutes.
Facts are Paula stole the Carnations milk original recipe from back of the can but doubled the butter and NEVER even mentioned letting the fudge set for 2 hours. So stop being ugly to do the writer. Paula is at fault.
Would you prefer a quick and easy fudge recipe or a classic old-fashioned fudge recipe?
both
I like a hard fudge that doesn't melt on my fingers.
Quick please Glory To God Always God's Blessings Always Amen
Old fashioned
My mama always made it with marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows. God bless 🙏
My Mom used Marshmallow cream too. 😊
Mine too!
Yes, much better and easier that way!
Been using marshmallow fluff for over 60 years.
It was called Fantasy Fudge on the marshmallow cream jar recipe
Pretty much the way I make it, except I use a pot not a frying pan.❤

I questioned the evaporated milk too.
With any of my fudge, I've always used evaporated milk..

@@stephaniepapaleo9001- it's so humid in many places in Florida, it can be difficult to make fudge anytime. Especially in Tampa.

I make it by stirring in colored marshmallows and quickly pouring into your pan. We called it Rocky roads...so freaking good
I think she would like those coloreds separate more than mixed up if you catch my drift 😅
Thank you Miss Paula
Besides constant stirring (or lack of) being an issue, perhaps it was left on the heat too high for, too long?😘
I think the recipe said "cook" until melted instead of "stir" until melted. She likely kept it on the heat too long.
Waiting too long between adding each ingredient can also effect the outcome. Chances are the recipe took her longer than 5 minutes. And yes, the constant stirring would be a big factor.

Thx u for posting. Hubs makes chocolate and peanut butter fudge every year for Xmas. This recipe looks so much easier.
Loved it❤laughed so hard, thanks for sharing such a beautiful vacation 💗

Mrs. Paula, could you use the cream puff in the jar instead of using marshmallows?
So glad you posted this Paula my son has been asking for fudge for Valentines Day ❤
Mrs. Paula, could use add the Heath Toffee bits to it?
I've often come across a recipe that was great 👍, but didn't turn out the second time 🤣. It's all about the temperature and ratio of ingredients you add at a time. 😋
This No Bake 5 Minute Fudge recipe looks so delicious 😋 Paula.
😋 yummy
I'm not a candy maker but I think I can make this recipe now and to be sure it's constantly stirred.
I have watched paula since 1983 a still like fudge hershey chocolate for c hocolate
Looks good paula
I’m going to make this❤
Yummy.good.moring.❤❤❤❤
Yummy 👍😋
Could the quality of the chocolate affect the outcome of the fudge? (brand name vs. store brand)
Paula doubled the butter. Just Google and use the original Carnations Milk can recipe. It is fail proof and delicious.

How much of the small marshmallows did you use and sugar did not here it look delicious ❤❤❤❤❤
If you're using the wrong butter that can be the culprit. Paula's recipe on the website just says butter but is it salted or unsalted? The margarine vegetable oil spreads won't work so well with fudge.
How long do you boil before add
Hey Paula can you let it set up in the freezer?
In the refrigerator, yes but dont know about freezer

I vote old school fudge!
You remind me so much of my cousin Tootsie
Only use name-brand, quality milk-chocolate chocolate chips. Off-brands or store brands are not as good of a quality chocolate and will not melt like you need it to.
When I make my Aunt Linnie’s fudge, the sugar, milk and butter have to cook on their own, and boil for 5 minutes, more large marshmallows
I don’t understand why you are using a frying pan instead of a boiler.
The ingredients heat up faster in a skillet than a pot. You can have more consistent heat in the wider surface. Maybe that's how she was able to cook it in 5 minutes.
The cast iron skillet will maintain the heat and each ingredient was able to melt or dissolve quickly as they were added.

How much measurements on everything
Looks so good and quick!!! To what email do we send you recipes?
Love your videos
Mmmm, fudge!
Too soft for me. I like mine stiffer so it holds up nicely.
Too soft because she added 2 extra tablespoons of butter from the original Carnation milk recipe. And her recipe NEVER mentions letting the fudge set for a few hours.
Just Google the original recipe from Carnation milk can. It is delicious and fir and quick..
Try lowering heat

Why on earth would you use a skillet for fudge and not a saucepan?
Does it matter? It worked.

Sounds to me like her chocolate seized up.
Sounds like she burned her chocolate and it didn’t mix with the other ingredients
And did she just gaslight one of her viewers lol that's so Paula
Way too many marshmallows. That amount of sugar is ruins the taste.
maybe Anne just sucks at cooking? :)
