I'm writing this review without a rating because I think I must have done something wrong (after reading the other reviews). This fudge did NOT set up for me - it was still runny after a couple of hours in the refrigerator. I'll let it sit overnight to see if it comes together, but I'm not hopeful. I thought I was careful to follow the recipe exactly, but it didn't turn out for me at all. Made for Photo Tag.

YUMMY! DH loved this! I have been cooking for a bake sale, and he has seen all the goodies go out the door... :( so... as a treat I made this for him! He ate a few pieces, and with a big smile said "Put this in my favorites, and give the chef 10 stars!" Wicked, thank you for making my DH a happy man today! Made for 1.2.3 Hits

Very tasty. The kids loved this extremely well. I did leave the salt out though. There is a quick story to this. Yesterday we went to Amish Acres, in Indiana, where they make there own peanut butter, so I decided to try it. It is still as flavorful as I think the natural peanut butter would have worked. There peanut butter melts reather quickly. I will also try with natural peanut butter. Made for New Zaar Tag.

I would love to say this was delicious, but I wouldn't know. It never set up. I was making a double batch, doubled everything accordingly, and it wouldn't set up like my chocolate fudge did. Hours in the fridge didn't help. It was so runny even after freezing it I couldn't cut it. I tried a fresh batch, thinking maybe I misstep-ed, or had a bad ingredient, double checked all ingredients, and admittedly the color was a bit better. (different peanut butter; Jif organic to Jif naturals) but alas even my second batch turned out a bust. Definitely trying another recipe. Complete failure.
