FUDGE IS NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS! SPRING TIME LEMON FUDGE

 I think just about

EVERYONE

associates

FUDGE 

with Christmas.

I know that I always
make several batches
of all different types
of fudge during the
Holiday Season.

I give them to my
enemies friends to 
MAKE THEM FAT-
that way I look thinner 
enjoy.
Pretty smart for a blond, huh?

Anyway,
I have a recipe for
LEMON FUDGE
for Spring.
If you love lemon this is for you!
I'm not sure where it came
from but I have used it for
several years.
It was probably the old
Taste Of Home magazine.
It is so good that you
will be licking the pan.
You will bow down
before me because
I am 
The Fudge Queen.

This is NOT a recipe
for those 
weak-willed people
that cannot refrain from
eating the whole pan...
Nosirreeee..
Here you go-

LEMON FUDGE
1/2 cup REAL butter (no oleo/margarine)
One 4.5 oz cook & serve lemon pudding
(do not use instant pudding)
1/2 cup milk
3-3/4 cups confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Line a 9" square pan with foil
bringing it up the sides.
Use butter and heavily butter the foil
In large saucepan combine:
Pudding mix
Milk
Butter
Cook and stir over medium heat
until mixture has thickened.
Remove from heat.
Beat in confectionery sugar & lemon extract.
Pour into buttered pan and refrigerate.
Use tinfoil to lift fudge out of pan.
Cut into squares and store in fridge.

Serve to family and friends
and your skinny enemies.
Trust me-
You will have a new
Easter candy tradition.

THIS IS SOOOO GOOD!!!!

  2. I've never heard of lemon fudge before and man oh man, that sounds delicious! If it weren't for the 4 cups of confectioner's sugar, I'd make a batch! Alas, too much sugar for me.

  12. That sounds so yummy and I do like Lemon, but I would probably eat it all because some of my family does not like lemon. I am trying again to leave you a comment and I am not a robot. Love you, Shirley

  13. Oh, this is on my immediate list. I need some good stuff right now.

    I grew up with butter, we made our own. A few Wisconsin bakers had recipes that absolutely had to be made with oleo. At that time, margarine was not sold, competing with butter. Two ladies sneaked into Canada, bought some margarine there.They were afraid that the border crossing would take the oleo away.

    I like Kerry Gold butter.

  32. As I was scrolling to type a comment, I had to laugh at Sandi's... oleo (there must be a generation gap here for her to not know the word, oleo)
    I'd love a piece of your fudge, thank you!!

  33. You are correct, I think of Christmas when I think of fudge but that is silly cause fudge is good anytime!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh my. This sounds so delicious! I love lemon flavoured anything!

    ReplyDelete
  35. No. Way. This sounds amazing and if its anything like your peanut butter fudge . . . well it will be in my kitchen. Once the kitchen remodel is done. If it made it now, it would be crunchy haha . . . and not in a good way!

  36. Well, I've been making chocolate fudge for 30+ years that folks absolutely LOVE! I probably give 50-60lbs away every Christmas. I think I"m going to give this a whirl as I love lemon and this would be a new flair for fudge. Happy Easter to you and yours.

  39. Sounds good but I'm allergic to all things dairy so no butter or milk for me.

  40. YUM! Funny thing about lemon, I am not a fan but I love lemon pound cake, lemon fudge? I will have to give this a try! Enjoy your day and Easter weekend ahead dear friend, HUGS!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Diana this sounds luscious. I am a great fan of lemon and will certainly have to give this one a try. May have a bit of trouble finding non-instant lemon pudding - so will keep my eye out at some of the larger super markets. Hope your Easter is just lovely. Hugs!

  43. I love lemon everything, and this sounds delish! Unfortuntely, I fall into the category of "weak willed" when it comes to lemon,and fudge, and, well, pretty much all food!
