THIS RECIPE WAS ORIGINALLY ON THE BACK OF NESTLE SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS. I FOUND IT THERE YEARS AGO AND USE IT ALWAYS UNTIL IT WAS MISPLACED. I WAS GLAD TO FIND IT HERE

really creamy and decadent! did as others suggested and cooked fro 6.5 min. also did just under 1c of sugar and did half semi sweet, half milk chocolate chips. used 1 T butter and topped with crushed candy canes (no nuts) for christmas. i made this fudge every year for the holidays and it's always a hit. i think the significant reduction of sugar may have contributed to the slight greasiness of the fudge this last time i made it, but it still turned out delicious and not too sweet at all.

I have made candy of many kinds for years, and I have never had a recipe fail on me like this one. Determined to defeat it, I tried a few times, thinking I must have messed up a step. No matter how careful I was, this fudge always turned into a greasy mess. I've read some reviews that said to put the marshmallow cream in after heating, which is in line with other recipes I have succeeded with. Also, I wonder how many failures are happening at altitude? I had to relearn how to make candy when living over 5000ft.

First time making fudge ever, and it turned out AWESOME! I'm thinking I'll use someone's suggestion next time and cook it a minute or so longer to make the rest of it more firm, but it's SOOOO rich and creamy. :) Used 2 tbls butter instead of the 1/4 cup since others said it was greasy.

This is the first time I've made fudge with MARSHAMLLOW CREAM, I usually do it the old fashioned way. I followed it to the T, aside from a little different mix of chocolate chips, and I"m just not impressed. It just tastes like a big soft chocolate bar-not the distinct fudge taste that makes me sacrifice calories during the holidays.

I am not a candy maker, or at least thought I was not, because my previous attempts at fudge were unsuccessful to put it mildly. I can do cookies, cakes, pies, breads, muffins ... but just thought I would have to leave the candy making to someone else. That was BEFORE I tried this recipe this morning. Oh My Goodness is all I can say. I followed the recipe to the letter and it is perfect. I used a very heavy pan to reduce the chance of scorching, used a rubber spatula spoon to stir, and heated up the ingredients very slowly on low heat to start with until it was smooth and then turned the heat up to wait for the boil. Stir constantly, have everything ready, and you will not be disappointed. I am going to make another batch this evening using peanut butter chips. Thank you for a wonderful fudge recipe and showing me that I can make candy, I just needed the right recipe!

I followed the directions exactly as written. I am an experienced cook, and have made several batches of fudge in my lifetime. This one was the worst I have ever tasted. It is greasy, and the taste is not good.

WOW!!! I had never been successful with fudge until now and it is sooooo good. As good as any Ive ever had before. I followed the 1st reviewers advice to stir like crazy and work fast. Otherwise, the only thing I changed was left out the nuts and added a pecan half to each square while the fudge was warm.Thank you so much for this recipe.
