Ultimate Chocolate Fudge

If you want chocolate fudge, this is it! I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. It's a Christmas staple in her house, and it's my husband's favorite fudge. It makes a lot of fudge, so it's a good recipe to use for gift giving. Prep time is approximate. The recipe can be credited to Mrs. Paul Kaczinsky.
