Reviews
I add some Oreos to mine. it was still very soft and sticky after 4 hrs in the fridge. but it tasted great. I also melted the chocolate in the microwave.
Overall the flavor was good. Texture was smooth and creamy. My friend tried it without knowing the ingredients and knew right away it contained cream cheese. This recipe sets up soft and couldn’t be left out of the refrigerator for an extended period as it gets even softer. It’s also very sweet, even after I cut the sugar by half.
MUST ADMIT THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT BASE FOR MY 1ST TIME MAKING FUDGE BUT I AM A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL SO I HAD TO MAKE IT MY OWN SO I ADDED MADAGASCAR VANILLA BEAN I ALSO ADDED CRANBERRIES FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON AND SINCE I WAS MAKING IT FOR MY JOB I HAD TO MAKE 6X THIS RECIPE BUT I AM TRULY IMPRESSED WITH HOW AMAZING IT CAME OUT
Way to loose. Don’t waste your time with this one
This fudge tastes delicious but it doesn’t look great. It didn’t all form together and wasn’t completely smooth. I think it needs more of something to make it little thinner. Maybe Less sugar and chocolate. I tastes like cheesecake! I loved the taste, but some may not.
Very creamy and “buttery” without butter. We added fruit mini marshmallows instead of pecans. Awesome! 🙂
A suggestion or two: > For an almost “perfect” white fudge, use the clear vanilla rather than traditional which turns the fudge an off-white color. >Albertson’s brand Signature Kitchen has powdered sugar that is sifted; very, very well – I found no lumps whatsoever in both bags! >Nestle says you can melt the chips in microwave on high 45 sec., stir, then in 15 minute intervals, if necessary, stirring each time. Melting them with a double-broiler is great but very time consuming and I don’t know anyone under the age of 35 who actually owns one or knows what one is. lol
I made this as directed (with 3 extra ounces white chocolate because that’s what was in the bag) and it set perfectly. I read all the other reviews, and as suggested I mixed up the cream cheese first and slowly added the icing sugar a cup at a time until it was fully mixed. Instead of nuts, I added cut up cherries at the request of whom I was making this for, but I think next time I would add nuts. The only reason I give this a 4, was because it didn’t knock my socks off, but it’s still a simple, tasty fudge recipe!
I added nuts and some dried fruits, and it was to die for!! I have neighbors who are begging me to make some more lol
I left the nuts out of the recipe and I used a tablespoon of orange extract instead of vanilla. Tasted just like an orange creamsicle. Gonna try with strawberry next time. So delicious!
Absolutely love this fudge!!! Wasn’t too sure how it would work with the cream cheese but it is delicious! Very smooth and creamy! I left out the pecans and pressed freeze-dried strawberries into the top for some color. Beautiful and will definitely make it again!
Will make again!
I’ve made this fudge twice now, once for a friend who said it was just like his grandma’s fudge, and today i made it for my works’ fall cook off. I will definitely keep making this fudge.
This was my first time trying this recipe. It was TOO sweet . I guess I put way to much sugar in it. i followed the directions. Other than all the sugar I guess it’s ok. Im afraid to even let the guest’s try it . Maybe its firfor people that loves sweets . Way too sweet. 🙁
i love this website they make great recipes and the fudge is superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tastes really good but can only eat one piece so sickly.
This is nothing but cream cheese icing with white chocolate and nuts in it. Nothing like any white chocolate fudge I have ever eaten. Would be good on a carrot cake.
This was SOOOO good. I left out the nuts and put in crushed oreo cookies (about 20). Could have used a few less cookies and still would be good. I’m going to try mixing candy cane pieces in it too, and red hots for Valentine’s. You can do anything you want with this. It was SOOO easy and EVERYBODY loved it. Took no time at all. This will be my go to candy recipe from now on.
I made multiple batches and definitely recommend not making it plain. On its own it is over-poweringly sweet. If you don’t like nuts I made a batch with crunched up pretzels in it and that was a big hit.
Loved it! Trying to mix all the powdered sugar with the cream cheese is somewhat of a chore but overall a great recipe.
Way too sweet. Didn’t get creamy at all.. Not sure what I did wrong… Followed the directions.
