Description
These were similar to Kraft Caramels and were made by Kraft. They were gold foil wrapped squares of chewy fudge that came in a big cellophane bag. I don't know when they were introduced, but I remember eating them in the late 60's-70's; by the 80's they were gone. I loved these things!!

I remember these fondly, only because they were given out as a special reward treats at my elementary school, "Hartstern". We had something called "citizens of the week". If your classroom did something good or helped out around the school in some way, you'd get these along with regular carmels and a "citizen of the week" pencil on your lunch tray. The taste of a tootsie roll with the texture of a Kraft caramel They seemed more special the plain old caramels, 'cause they were wrapped in foil : )
I used to bug my mother to buy these whenever she went shopping. They were a favorite of mine.
Hi,
I loved them as a kid too and searched high and low for them.
What I finally discovered was that the company's name had changed to Favorite Brands of America or Favorite Brands...forget exactly which.
Anyway, a friend found them once for me in her supermarket and I found them once too. They pop up around Halloween time.
Try searching under the names Famous Brands. I remember that I went as far as calling Kraft to get the names of local distributors. I was really feeling nostalgic for them!
I love the fudgies, I wish they would bring them back,I remember my mother would buy fudgies for the little ones.They taste so good. What has happen to the good stuff chocolate does not even taste the same as it did back then.
Fudgies were awesome. I want to get the recipe so i can manufacture these myself. Fudgies were the best candy ever made!
I just called Kraft Marketing and requested to have Fudgies brought back. I even asked for the recipe. I got a generated response "if we got enough feedback that Kraft would consider manufacturing them". I asked for Corporate's phone # 1-847-646-2000. I want to find someone who will make them if not Kraft.
So has anyone found a way to get these? I remember my mom having fudgies in the cabinet, we snuck them every chance we had! Anyone else accidentally end up eating a bouillion cube?
Would love to be able to get these again. Happy to see others remembered and loved Kraft Fudgies! I thought I was the only one!!!
I too would love to be able to find these delicious fudgy treats. I remember the chocolate caramels that came mixed with the vanilla ones, but there was no comparison to the Fudgies in their gold wrappers!
there is a big demand, you must bring back my fudgies
I loved Fudgies! We would get them in our trick-or-treat bags at Halloween and I would steal the ones out of my brother's bag because I loved them so much. My mom would also buy the big bags of them. There's nothing out today like them.
Everytime I go to the grocery store and ask my husband is there anything else he needs the answer is always you know htose little Karaft fudgies....
How come we all just get to "talk" about "em?! I want to eat some! Such wonderful memories they evoke!!
Yes, I want those Fudgies!!! They were sooooo good!! If anyone knows of a product that tastes like them please let us all know....
Bring back The FUDGIES!!!!!!!!!!!! my husband & I both love these things and I have been looking for years for them.
These were my favorite things to get at Halloween. I like them better than the minature candy bars and would trade my siblings and friends for them. Please bring back fudgies!
BRING BACK MY FUDGIES. My favorite candy as a kid!!!
I remember buying bags of individually wrapped carmels for making carmel apples. Inside the bag were about 5 or 6 of the fudgies. My mom would let me have all of them! What a good mom!
They were an awesome candy. Why did they quite making them? Bring them back please!!!!!!
Oh, Yeah! That's how I got hooked on them! Kraft Fudgies were awesome...wonder why they disappeared??? They were almost as mysterious as the disappearance of my favorite OOMPAS! I used to flatten out a carmel, and roll a fudgie in a ball and wrap the carmel around it and roll the whole thing into a ball and then pop it in my mouth and try eating it without choking on the big ball of yummy goo!
Oh how I remember Fudgies. My mom would get them on special occasions. The problem was they cost so much at the time. The caramels (which I found distasteful) were less expensive. I guess the high cost prevented enough people from buying them, so Kraft discontinued them as being 'unpopular'. Sigh.
Give me the fudgies!!!!!! I want those fudgies!!!!!!
This has been hilarious reading all of these comments, what memories. I too loved the fudgies and have looked high and low. I just ate a poor tastiing carmal and thought of my good old fudgies.....
Fudgies were one of my all-time favorite candies in the 60's and 70's. I was so disappointed when they disappeared. I even found a website that sells a lot of old time candy (oldtimecandy.com) but they don't even have Fudgies. They do, however, have Smoothies, Mallo Cups, BB Bats and Fizzies, though!
These as well as Cheese & Crackers by Kraft were always readily available in my house because my mom worked for Kraft :D
I too miss these little drool fest gems as well as the Cheese & Crackers ...all I can find now is breadsticks and cheese! *yuck*
Kraft needs to bring these two items back pronto!
