Mamie Eisenhower’s Fudge
My mother came across this fudge recipe in a newspaper some 40 years ago. One taste and you'll see why it doesn't take long for a big batch to disappear. —Linda First, Hinsdale, Illinois
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided

This isn’t Mamie’s recipe, hers calls specifically for 12 oz Germans Chocolate with the semisweet
I would love to make this fudge, but can I use real sugar? If so, how much would I use? I'm sure Mamie didn't use Sugar in the Raw or Stevia??
like the recipe...however after made it , realized that it has to be kept refrigerated which goofs me up for mailing overseas and to Colorado
Some 40 years? More like some 60 years ago "Ike" Eisenhower was elected President in 1952.
it was to surgary
Made this the other day and it is just way to good. It makes a lot too. Make sure you cook the sugar, butter and milk the full time if not a little longer. You want to make sure that all your sugar is melted otherwise the fudge will taste grainy. Yummy!

I can not rate this recipe as I have not made it, however, it is not the same as one I had given to me by a patient in the late 50's. Mine also has German Chocolate and is excellent, but think I will give this a try.
This is the only Fudge to make. When you follow the instructions to a T this is the melt in your mouth creamy fudge that no other compares to. I know this because it is not my exact recipe but so close it is scary. When I was a little girl, a woman down the street worked for See's. She shared that Recipe with my Mom, then it came to me. Yes, See's... I had to make that Fudge every year for Family and Friends at Christmas until I told them all I lost the recipe. I was sick of Fudge. I do have my recipe...and I did have to tell a fib for my sanity's sake. LOL
