Cream Cheese Fudge

Submitted by Chef #1020230

"Sugar free fudge. It has a creamy consistency, is easy to make, and satisfies a sweet tooth. Especially helpful for diabetics. I modified another sugar free recipe to suit my taste. It also is easier to make. I use equal amounts of Splenda and Erythritol as my sugar substitutes, but any of them would do."
