Harry Vermont Schoppert'S Fudge
A rich, creamy fudge with cocoa and vanilla flavors, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing with friends or family during special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar and cocoa until completely blended in a saucepan.
- Add canned milk and regular milk to the mixture and stir until all sugar and cocoa are dissolved.
- Put the mixture on the stove at low heat until it comes to a boil.
- Stir once in a while so the mixture will not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, use evaporated milk instead of canned milk. Ensure sugar and cocoa are well combined before adding liquids to avoid clumps. Stir constantly as the mixture heats to prevent sticking, and don’t rush the boiling process. For a twist, add a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of nuts for texture. This fudge pairs beautifully with *Aunt Joyce'S Peanut Butter Fudge* for a delightful treat selection.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for serving, and consider drizzling melted chocolate on top for an elegant finish. It pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or can be enjoyed alongside *Muddy Buddies(Snacks)* for a fun dessert platter. Serve it at gatherings or as a sweet treat during the holidays for a nostalgic touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it for longer freshness. To reheat, gently warm in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, to avoid melting it completely. This allows you to enjoy it as a warm dessert or to use in other recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version, although the texture may slightly differ. For a richer taste, consider whole milk or even cream. Adjust the sweetness based on the type of milk used, especially if using unsweetened alternatives.
How can I make this fudge more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, increase the cocoa powder to 2 tablespoons or add chocolate chips during the cooking process. You could also mix in melted dark chocolate once the mixture is off the heat for an extra indulgent treat.
What can I do if my fudge doesn’t set properly?
If your fudge is too soft, it may not have reached the right temperature during cooking. Try refrigerating it for a few hours to firm it up. Alternatively, you can melt it down again with a bit more sugar and reheat it, ensuring it reaches a boil this time before setting.
