Irish Creamy Fudge

honeydue's Note:

I wanted a white fudge, as in, without chocolate. This one is perfect, because you get the added flavour of Irish cream! So soft it melts in your mouth. (Original from Anna Olsen).

My husband & I made up a batch of this for a birthday party we attended recently, after seeing it made on the Food Network by Anna Olsen. It was very quickly devoured at the party! The recipe is very easy to follow although it did take some time (20-30 mins) for ours to reach the 238F mark. This will be going into my dessert repertoire.
