This fudge is close to the one on the marshmallow cream jar without the 3 cups of sugar do You cook this one to 234 degrees also or a different temperature?

I have a bone to pick with this recipe; it may be too good! I have never been a fan of fudge but thought I’d give this a try for the holidays. I LOVE this fudge, lol! It is creamy and smooth and not too sweet (my main complaint with traditional fudge). So glad (I think) that I found this recipe. My husband and children love it too...bonus!!! The downside is it’s tempting and easy to overindulge. At least there isn’t a ton of added sugar in it.

This is a fantastic fudge recipe. A five-Star in my recipe box. Set up nice in refrigerator, and tasted great. My husband is a diabetic, and the low sugar and low trans fats made me want to try it. After looking for a good fudge for three years, THIS IS IT. Try it you will love your fudge "fix". -
This fudge has a deep rich chocolate flavor. Folks cutting back on sugar and calories will be able to enjoy a special treat too. Do keep a close eye on the cream mixture while boiling and stirring, scorching or burning can happen quickly.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
