It was too soft even after 12 hours in the fridge.I rolled the pieces in cocoa so it stayed a bit more together. -
I am living in South Korea, the land without ovens. I have found myself craving baked chocolate-y goodness like back home and this recipe was perfect! I was able to find the ingredients here in Korea and it requires no oven!!! Thank you so much for this recipe -- it has become a favorite among me and my expatriate friends!!!!<br/>Note: I added Skippy's Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter and it turned out awesome! Gave a little texture to the fudge! -
I made this fudge last night. EVERYONE LOVED IT!! My father-in-law especially loved it, and he hates chocolate. This is the same exact recipe my grandma used when she made fudge. So, it reminds the family of her when I make it. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!!!
