This was so simple to make and the outcome was great as well. The coffee flavor is slightly masked by the cinnamon. So if you're looking for that coffee flavor to really come through youmay want to cut the cinnamon in half. I'll try that next time. However, the cinnamon flavor was nice, too. Different from other fudges.

simply wonderful. satiny smooth and creamy, sets up perfectly. This would be a great fudge for teens to make; no having to get out the candy thermometer to reach a soft ball stage. I never knew that pecans could be toasted in a micro. great idea! I still did the other on stovetop. Just threw the chips and milk in a pan on low. I did cut the cinnamon down to 3/4 tsp and it just gave it a very nice hint of flavor. The 8x8 pan is perfect. Because it is made in a matter of minutes, you can do one pan with nuts and one without, and that is exactly what I plan to do. I didn't stir too much, as I wanted that satiny finish. There was no graininess at all. Starbucks Sumatra roast was used, but would be great with espresso to give it a more mocha flavor. Thanks so much for this keeper! UPDATE: to the batch w/o nuts, I subbed out the coffee for 2 tbsp. bourbon and it gave it a wonderful silky texture and flavor.

Very good recipe. I used it for truffles, making it into balls rather than a plate of fudge. Delicious!!!
