It was in about 1975 . . a million years ago it seems . . that my neighbor brought over a plate of different candies during the Christmas holidays. One of the candies I had never had before and I fell in love with it. I asked for the recipe and she told me it was called Mexican Fudge and her daughter had made it so she got the recipe for me. There’s hardly been a year that I haven’t made it and it’s usually the first candy I make every year.
Yesterday I made it.
Mexican Fudge
Looking at recipes online, it’s also called Burnt Sugar Fudge.

Printed this as soon as I saw it. So tired of the same old fudge recipes. How thick is the fudge when finished? would an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 square suffice? Thanks much.
Joan from Alaska says
Yes, would a square pan or quarter sheet pan work for this? Sounds delicious!

My husband’s favorite candy. I watched his Mom make it a few times before I ever attempted it. Time to gather up my ingredients and get some made for us and gift giving.

That sounds so good! I am NOT going to think about the calories involved, only the taste. =)

Oh that sounds so good .. I made Tiger Butter Fudge yesterday as well as chocolate covered mixed nuts with extra cashews in them. Hubs loved both (which surprised me !! as he’s always poohooing homemade fudge of any kind). Thank you for the recipe, that will get made also with Peanut Butter Fudge !
