I just made this and like one of the reviews I got a crumbly mixture. I've been making candy for a long time. I think this is something having to do with my dry climate and high altitude. There was a time when I was adding the powdered sugar that I thought the consistancy was about right, and I still had a lot of powdered sugar to add. I will make this again, because it tastes delicious. Just looks weird. Next time I will add powdered sugar until I get the thick creamy texture you get immediately when making chocolate fudge. I hope this helps someone!

These were delicious and so easy to make. The flavor and consistency were almost exactly like See's Candy makes ... and they are my absolute favorite. I've tried many penuches (or brown sugar fudges) made by lots of candy companies and See's is just the best. Fantastic recipe, followed it exactly as written. Thank you NitaCook!

This recipe was WONDERFUL!! The first time I made it, it was great. The only change I made, was I used salted butter instead of unsalted, because that is what I had. I will definately be using this recipe again.

I'm sorry but this fudge did not turn out as good as I'd expected it to. I had alot of problem in step 5. On adding the powdered sugar, the fudge did not turn thick and smooth. Instead, it was dry and not of the consistency of fudge at all. What I had in my mixing bowl, were tiny round balls of the mixture of butter-milk-brown sugar and salt(that had been cooked until the soft ball stage). I thought that the amount of butter was less, and added 3/4 cup(melted) more. But, when I tried mixing it with the electric mixer, it was still no use. Then, I tried mixing it with a spoon and it was somewhat better. But still, it hasn't come out upto the mark. Taste-wise it is nice. But, still I wish I knew where the mistake lies in the recipe.
