This is the only way I make fudge. I don't like even the stuff from candy stores. I was going to try the marshmallow version and forgot. Will try next time. Great directions - I used microwave. My 9 yo did most of it. I love the idea of lining the pan and lifting it out after chilled. Easy to handle and no pan to clean! LOL

This same recipe was in our paper last night, and I thought I would try it. I was going to post it, and saw you already did. And so glad you did! This fudge is a breeze to make, and the taste is so smooth and rich. I used the mini chocolate chips, and omitted the nuts, don't care for them in fudge. My boys keep going back for more. I think I will make some more and give for Valentine gifts. Thanks so much for posting.
