*I love this fudge* ! I made a half recipe using my magic bullet, subbed brandy for the rum as my only chg & put pecan halves on ea piece as my Mom always did. It is creamy rich & very sweet, but such an easy-fix & tasty choc fix. It sets up easily to a perfect texture, cuts w/o crumbling & was added to my Christmas food gift boxes after just 1 bite. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. *Yum* ! :-)

This fudge is so very creamy and sweet - the way it should be! I used the almond extract and omitted the pecans but I will add them next time. This was so easy to make, too! Thanks for sharing!
