Best Ever Fudge

I got this from school when the teachers had their Christmas Potluck Party. This is a favorite of anyone who makes it. I put that it serve 24 but this fudge is very rich and should be cut in small piece, I cut mine about the size of a caramel, you will have more than 24 depending on how you cut them.
