Sammy's Famous Fudge (For Kidz)

My 10 year old makes perfect fudge every time, much to her family's delight. She got this recipe out of her junior cookbook and would like to share it with all young or beginning cooks. It takes a little supervision by Mom or Dad. My job is to lick the spoon! Another bonus is since it is made with nonfat dry milk the fat is 3 grams per 1 inch square.
