This has been my go-to fudge recipe for years. It is very easy and is the only recipe that I have made that forms just right every time. I always make it without the nuts, so I add extra salt. I also prefer to substitute 1 cup dark chocolate chips and I add a little extra vanilla. Going to try it with coconut milk and will post about the outcome.

Fantastic! Not too sweet with the salted peanuts.
