Chocolate Fudge

Submitted by Mmmm Tasty

"I got this recipe back in 4th grade when everyone had to bring in a recipe to share. No wonder someone brought this one! It's so easy a 4th-grader could make it, and it's rich and delicious. Excellent for gift giving (if you can give it up!)."

I turned this fudge into truffles by forming the pieces into circles, and rolling some in crushed walnuts and some in cocoa. They were the hit of our party!

This is my husband's favorite fudge. It's so easy and never fails. I use a double boiler so it won't burn. Really can't go wrong with it.

This classic is easy enough for a child to make and absolutely delicious. I think it tastes much better than the marshmallow fudge and lends itself to many variations. I do it in the microwave on low power in short bursts so that the chocolate doesn't scorch. I used the fat-free condensed milk once to make it for some heart patients at church and they were very grateful to get a fudge they could eat.

This is the Fool Proof Fudge Recipe from the sweetened condensed milk can. I have been making this for 30 years since I was a newlywed.It is also good with chopped walnuts if you like a fudge with nuts.
