Hershey’s Chocolate Fudge

The easy fudge recipe has been around for generations and used to be on the side of the Hershey’s cocoa container. It’s your grandma’s old fashioned fudge recipe that you know and love.

There’s nothing better than bringing back those old memories with some fun recipes that we all know and love.

Hershey’s chocolate fudge is one of the best fudge recipes and I am sure it brings back a lot of great memories. 

Fudge is one of my all-time favorite desserts and I make a ton of it around the holidays. It’s a great treat to make and give away as gifts, and it won’t break the bank. 

The recipe uses cocoa powder as one of the ingredients. It’s made without sweetened condensed milk and without marshmallow creme and it turns out soft, creamy, and chocolatey. 

The rich cocoa fudge is a delicious dessert any time of year.

I made this several times and goofed up on a couple of things, so I will share that with you in this post so you don’t make the same mistakes. Keep on reading and you’ll see what I did wrong.
