Rich, smooth, and deeply chocolatey—this is fudge, perfected by history and heart. With just 5 pantry staples and one saucepan, it’s a testament to the truth that the most enduring things are often the simplest: sugar, milk, chocolate, butter, and time. No thermometer. No guesswork. Just steady stirring, gentle patience, and the kind of love that turns dessert into legacy.
✨ Best of all? It’s naturally make-ahead, giftable, and always a crowd-pleaser.
“Stir, pour, and share a piece of history.”
