I was not happy with the way this fudge turned out for me. It never hardened up, and after cooling it off over night I had to take it out of the baking dish and try cooking it again to see if that would work but it didn't. It did have a great flavor while it was cooking. I followed the directions to the letter, only it just didn't turn out for me. I was looking forward to taking this to work. Thanks for posting.
