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.

This was really yummy and easy - if you measure and follow directions exactly (you have to do this for any candy or fudge) it will turn out great!

Absolutely delicious!!! I made two batches and everyone raved about it. One easy hint: I lined an 8x8 pan with "Release" non-stick foil and it was so easy to remove the fudge from the pan and then cut into perfect bite-sized pieces.

Lovely taste and texture. My second attempt at fudge (the first was gritty with undissolved sugar.) and it went very well. I have a tip not included in the recipe; do NOT scrape the sides if the pot after it boils, the undissolved sugar from the sides will cause all of the sugar to crystalize.

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!

Wonderful, creamy and delicious penuche fudge. Thanks for posting this great recipe. Penuche is my favorite fudge and I used to make it with a friend of mine but lost the recipe we used. I am so glad to finally find this recipe to make as a special treat. YUM!

Mine also didn't turn out. I think it was the electric mixer stage and feel it would have been better to do it by hand. It was crumbly like a very dry cookie dough. Tasted good but neded up throwing it in the bin. Will try a different recipe next time.

I can't believe I never reviewed this! I made it last year, and was thinking of making it again when I realized that I never reviewed it. This was DELISCIOUS!
