Banana fudge is the creamy, old‑fashioned candy I like to make when I have extra ripe bananas and want something richer than banana bread but just as comforting. It cooks up into soft, sliceable squares with real banana flavor, a buttery caramel note from sugar and condensed milk, and optional white chocolate and nuts for extra decadence.
Why You’ll Love Banana Fudge
This banana fudge uses pantry staples and doesn’t require a candy thermometer if you watch the texture cues, so it’s approachable even if you don’t make candy often. The mashed bananas keep the fudge moist and flavorful, while the condensed milk and butter give it a smooth, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture. It’s an excellent make‑ahead treat for holidays, potlucks, or gifting because a small pan yields plenty of rich little pieces that keep well in the fridge.
