I followed this recipe pretty much as it was. The only change I made was that I used chicken stock instead of beef stock because that was what I had. Even with the chicken stock, it turned out really good. It had a lot more flavor than it looked like it might. My youngest son told me it was the best stew he ever tasted and asked if I'd make again the next night.

This was super easy and the flavor is excellent. Yes, it's very sweet but I'd say that's because it's fudge. It sets up pretty quickly but I had a taste tester in it before it was even fully set. It passed the test. I'm thinking of drizzling chocolate on it next time, or maybe a layer of chocolate on top.

I don't know why the others had problems with it turning out dry or with no flavor. I added a little less chili powder and I'll admit that I did add sliced sausage and it was really good. Everyone loved it and I'll definitely make this again.
