Krunchfudge

jimjam63's Note:

Copycat, with a twist or two, from Carnations "Easy 5 Minute Fudge" recipe that's on the back of the Evaporated Milk label. This is very soft at room temperature and needs to be kept in the fridge.

Was in the mood for some homemade chocolate fudge, & the copy of your recipe was handy, so I made it up in no time at all! I'm big on marshmallow creme, so really enjoyed the combo of the mallows here with the chocolate! And, I was thoroughly happy eating it with a spoon, especially with a spread of chunky peanut butter to go with it! Thanks much, for posting the recipe!
