OH YUM! It's been years since I've made real, from scratch, old fashioned fudge & this recipe does not disappoint! I had a crazy time cooking as my new pans are too wide at the top to clip the candy thermometer on so I had to hold a top-heavy digital thermometer in the chocolate the whole time! It was about 11pm when I finally got the fudge into the pan to cool & then went to bed. It's a bit dried out this morning & didn't cut into perfect squares, but it still tastes delicious! I'll be making it again. I forgot what I was missing all these years of making marshmallow fluff fudge. :)

The taste is average. I Have much better. The directions were vague so unless someone has made fudge before, one won't know how to compensate for the inadequate directions. I would never bring this out in public. I might try it again but alter the ingredients. So basically, I will make fudge. Just not this recipe. IMO, everyone should try something at least once. Everyone's palate is different. This didn't reach a great spot on mine.

When making recipes like this, I find that, if I want to get a really great flavor, I need to use things like whole milk, quality chocolate, unsalted butter & pure vanilla extract! And so I did, & we -holics had one of the best chocolate pig-outs ever! Thanks for yet another great recipe keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]
