The recipe said takes 50 minutes. I spent the afternoon stirring, trying to get it up to 230 degrees. I followed the directions as written. I am an experienced cook. It did not set up. Tasted great. Will use on biscuits and pancakes. I won't make this again.

Like everyone else my fudge did not set up. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out to be more like a carmel. The flavor is good and would like to try it again. I wonder if the measurements are wrong or if something is missing in the recipe, just not sure. I have made fudge dozens of times and never had this happen. Hopefully the creator of this recipe can fix the midtake(if there is one) or give some helpful hints to fix this problem.

The flavor is delicious. But, mine stayed liquid, too. I wil be trying it again, because my family loved the flavor.

This tastes good if you like syrup. I measured exactly, cooked just as recipe required and still did not get candy. I started this at 5 PM.It is now 8 pm and I just gave up and poured into plate and put in refrigerator. I have made many kinds of candy over a lot of years and never had this problem. I wonder if there is a typo in the ingredient list? Anyway, thanks for an interesting experiance.
