Can't believe I am the first to review this fantastic recipe! This fudge is "all that" and more!!! FIVE STARS isn't enough!!!!Loved it and people can't believe there is NO butter in it as smooth as it is and I will be entering this in the county fair this fall.Liked your cookbook "Memories of Amy--Redneck Epicurean", I miss her humor and personallity too.

Very good and perfect, soft texture. I only prepared 1/4 recipe and only boiled it 1/4 time which is only 2 minutes. Not sure if this is a method to follow, probably not, but I got lucky and it turned out perfect.
