I am so sorry to say that this was just awful! What a dissapointment!!!!!! I was so excited to make this recipe today that I purchased a candy thermometer, candy cups & candy boxes. I began early and followed the recipe exactly as printed. It has been 6 (six) hours and this fudge is still not at all set. I told co workers that they would be getting some homemade fudge the day after Thanksgiving & they were happy. This is an embarrasment and this is the first recipe from recipezaar that was a flop. It was a waste of my time, cost of ingredients, and effort. I would recommend that you go to another recipe. Again, sorry but I must be honest and let other cooks & bakers know my poor results of this recipe.

I used this recipe to make fudge for the first time. The recipe was easy to follow and produced very unique fudge. I substituted the marshmallow cream for about 1 cup of marshmallows. Also I made one batch with white choc chips < not sure what vanilla chips are> and another batch with choc chips. The fudge hardened quite fast which was also great. I did cook the fudge a little longer than suggested by this recipe also.

I love baking best of all, especially breads and cookies, and I'm always looking for new bread recipes to try. I also enjoy recipes using fresh fruits that are refreshing and not overly sugary. I am very sporty and active so I like foods that give you a lot of energy with good nutrition too.
