I’m making this right now and the oil did seem to separate in the food processor. As you suggested, I’m going to try remixing it as the mixture begins to set. Also, I just wanted to note that I found the palm sugar in the Asian food section of my regular grocery store. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this tonight. I quadrupled the recipe. I didn’t have the palm sugar, soI did half honey and half aguave, because I was afraid the honey taste might be too strong. I used pecans, because at Christmas I used to make what my friends jokingly called 2 sticks of butter fudge with pecans. I was looking for a way to make it without dairy and the pecans were a perfect compliment to this rich flavorful fudge.

I love how all the ingredients here are 1/2 – makes it easy to remember the recipe!

[...] Homemade Fudge has always been a big hit around here, just make sure you tell whoever receives it that it must be kept in the fridge. [...]

Just made this with my kids today. The texture turned out more like a rich chocolate bar. I’ve never made homemade fudge before though so maybe thats whats its supposed to be like? If not what did I do wrong? Is it because I mixed by hand? Either way my kids and I LOVED it. The taste is amazing!!

I have made something like this before with maple syrup as well. It firms up a bit more in the fridge with maple syrup than with honey.

Have any of you ever tried using Xylitol? Kimi, do you know if it would work in this fudge? It has some amazing health benefits, and diabetics can use it.
Love your site!

This fudge is great, and after reading some of the comments, I had a few thoughts:
– If there is anyone looking for Palm Sugar (aka coconut sugar) if you have an oriental market (mine is called “99 Ranch”) they have it. 99 Ranch is a chain of oriental markets. There is also another chain called Nijiya Market.
– When I make the fudge, there is always liquid left on the bottom. I just use it to make the next batch, but has anyone else had this happen when using the called for amounts and ingredients? Should I reduce the oil to 1/3 cup?
– I usually make 2 batches and use soaked and dehydrated walnuts in one of the batches, I really like it. Oh, and once in a while I put a tablespoon of Nutella in the nut batch, s’good.
– Last, I had some really high quality coco powder in the cupboard once and used it – I really noticed a great improvement with better quality coco powder. Just FYI.
Thanks a TON for the recipie. Fudge was my weakness before and now I never have to touch that commercial stuff again and get that head buzz and low energy feeling.
