  1. I made some alterations to the recipe but I'm still going to give it 5 stars because without this recipe as a base I could have never made such a wonderful, rich, decadent fudge. In fact, this was the best fudge I have ever tasted/made and it was a party favorite as well as these went very quickly. As for the alterations, I had to replace some items because I live in the Netherlands and we don't really have evaporated milk like you do in the UK & USA and we also have no semi-sweet chocolate. I used a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and what we call koffiemelk, Lindt dessert chocolate 70% (dark). Used less chocolate than stated because the chocolate I used is very rich and strong, so I used only 2 cups of chocolate in total. I also used about 1 cup of Kahlua cause I wanted it to be strong, used 2 tbs of instant espresso and nearly doubled the butter because I wanted a soft and gooey fudge. Left out the vanilla and used roasted unsalted almonds. This is going to be a Christmas tradition now, will make it every year!
     
  2. Very rich, flavorful fudge. Set up nicely and was a great addition to our cookie tray this Christmas. I agree that it doesn't have a strong Kahlua taste, so I increased the amount of Kahlua to almost double the stated amount. Turned out great. Thanks.
     
  3. Very quick and easy to make. I also used 1/3 cup Kahlua (homemade). I added pecans to mine, but I roasted them in the oven (350 degrees for 10 mins) before hand. Instead of milk chocolate pieces I used dark chocolate.I also added 2 tbsp of vanilla instant cappuccino. The fudge set up nicely. A good tip to remember is, if you want the best flavor use the best ingredients.
     
  4. I made this last night as part of my gift to give to my co-workers. This is a very smooth and creamy fudge. I did not add any nuts, personal preference. Mine set up perfectly, actually it set up before even putting it in the refrigerator. The recipe as stated give the fudge a mild hint of the Kahlua. Like some other posters have said, next time I will add 1/2 cup of Kahlua. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
     
  5. Very good, I use this as a go-to recipe for fudge. I've substituted buttershots, amaretto, vanilla and raspberry liqueurs for the kahlua (in separate batches obviously) with equally delicious results. I also have a reather heavy hand with the alcohol because sometimes its a little hard to taste. Its a very quick and easy recipe, sets up nicely with a smooth texture.
