Well...I learned with this one that you really do need to use a LARGE pot. My medium large pot had half of the recipe boil over the sides. Despite that, people who tasted this said it still tasted like when they had it before. I think liking them is a matter of taste...They are more grainy & sugary than other fudge (not smooth and creamy). Made for Alphabet Soup.

    yummy! I didn't have quite enough sugar- I think I was about 1/3c short, but made it anyway without any other modifications. I like this better than other recipes that call for chocolate chips and powdered sugar, and I actually think it's probably better with less sugar (no so sickeningly sweet). I think it would be really delicious with almonds, which I'll try next time! Thanks!!

    This IS the best fudge. My mother always used to make this for us when we were kids and we couldn't wait for it to get done! It's delicious!

    Followed the directions exactly (as I know how doing otherwise can change everything when it comes to making fudge), & ended up with AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT FUDGE, the very stuff with which my own mom used to frost her delicious chocolate cakes (I often wondered, & she never said)! Thanks for a definite keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]

    This is the best fudge ever! My mother made it for us as children, but no longer has the recipe. I can't wait for my kids to try it!

    Thank you so much for this! My Mom always knew it by heart, and then hadn't made it for awhile. She remembered every part of it except how much butter to use. She called me because she knew I had written it down, but we just moved. It was great to locate yours so easily. Thanks for being so kind to care for those of us who need to find it! You are the best! CLG

    I followed the directions to a "T," and this came out more like chocolate goo than fudge. The consistency is similar to toffee. It took over two hours to make, too, between the boiling, the cooling, etc. I guess I'll stick to the marshmallow type of fudge.
