I made this fudge for Thanksgiving and only my 10 year old really likes it. For the rest of us it is a bit too sweet and plus I had to keep it refrigerated or it gets very soft.

I wanted to make my great aunt's fudge for my winter wedding favors and the recipe was such a pain. This one was sooo much easier and much creamier! Love it!

I read another readers rating on this fudge and it said that her attempt never set properly. Because of that comment, I remembered to adjust the boil time because I am over 1000 feet above sea level. Mine turned out FANTASTIC! Thanks for the recipe AND the comments.

This fudge had a good taste but didn't set completely. I followed the recipe exactly as written but even in the freezer it didn't harden enough. Any suggestions?
