I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com but wanted to be sure it was here too - and it was! Excellent fudge, quite rich of course. I used 1 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped, about 7 oz of semi-sweet chips, and milk chocolate chips for the remaining 10 oz, as I thought all milk chocolate might be too sweet and/or not chocolate-y enough, and this does have a great flavor. Next time I will beat it a little more after the chocolate is melted, as from what I have read that gives fudge the grainy texture that I really like. I also have an idea to split the cooked mixture in half & use half milk chocolate chips in one bowl and half semi-sweet in another, and then swirl the two together in the pan.
