First time fudge maker here. My husband had asked for some and I have to make it due to peanut allergies in our son. I could not find allergen safe german chocolate, so I subbed some milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips. Also used walnuts since Hubby likes them better. I lined my dish(13x9) with foil too. Lots of stirring! So worth it! Amazing and easy. I had no idea fudge was so simple. This will make it into my xmas cookie trays for sure! I had to freeze most of it since we were eating to much so quickly. Excellent no fail from what I can see.

I substituted a bag of milk chocolate chips for the German's chocolate, and got some "all natural" marshmallow creme from Whole Foods. I had to refridgerate the fudge in order for it to set enough to cut. Then I packaged it cold, sent it 2-day mail to my dad for Father's Day, and crossed my fingers. He loved it. My parents said it was the best fudge they ever had!

I have always been a big fan of fudge but my family doesn't like it much. This christmas I decided to make fudge and take it to work where I was sure that it would be eaten. Less than three hours into the shift it was gone. I had never made fudge and was being told that my fudge was better than their grandmother's. This recipe is amazing. They beg me for more almost every day I go into work.

I've used a recipe almost like this for over 40 yrs., and it is the BEST!! But the recipe I use is "Mamie Eisenhower's Million Dollar Fudge". And here's the difference: 1. Use 3 pkgs. of German Sweet Chocolate Bars. 2. Do not try to stir this by hand. Put both of the chocolates, the marshmellow cream, and "chopped 'black' walnuts in a large mixing bowl, and pour the hot syrup over this mixture and beat with mixer until the chocolate is melted. 3. Never make this on a rainy or humid day. 4. And "NEVER" stir boiling syrup, it will amke it grainy.

This fudge was absolutely awesome!!! I've only made fudge a few times and always with a microwave, never on the stove top. I followed the recipe exactly, letting the sugar boil for 6 minutes from a full boil. I read somewhere that stirring the sugar makes your fudge grainy, so I left the sugar alone the entire 6 minutes. The grocery was sold out of German chocolate, so I used milk chocolate instead and it was great. I think this recipe would work well with any chocolate substitute. This recipe was so simple... no candy thermometers, no ball stages... and it makes fudge that you could have bought in a candy shop. The two important things to remember: 1. Be prepared. Have everything set up and ready to go before you start cooking the sugar. 2. Your fudge is only as good as the ingredients. It's so simple that skimping on the ingredients (buying cheap chocolate) will really show through.

This is an excellent recipe. For 35 years I have made fudge from scratch, where you cook until a certain stage, then beat until the right consistancy. This is the first quick recipe that tastes right and it is the German chocolate that is the secret. This recipe saves so much trouble and my shoulders. I have two tips. #1; if your fudge is sugary, next time add a tablespoon of light (clear) corn syrup when you begin to cook it. # 2; Don`t make fudge on a rainy day. Humidity is a huge factor in fudge and fudge will need longer cooking with high humidity, 5-6 minutes with low. I used one bag of milk chocolate chips, one semi-sweet, and the German chocolate and it tastes like my old recipe. Thank you for sharing it!

This recipe makes a LOT of fudge! I followed it to a T and the texture turned out nice. It's good but it seemed to taste the same as less complicated recipes I've tried in the past.

I have never made fudge before. This was so easy and tasty! I have made it several times and it has always turned out well. I 've used several different kinds of chocolate - whatever I've had on hand. Yum - very rich!

I thought this recipe was great. No problems with it setting up. I thought that the german chocolate squares were a little spendy but if it makes great fudge it was worth it.

The fudge overall was DELICIOUS! Although it required a bit more effort than other fudge recipes it was worth the effort. We halved the recipe and it was plenty (though even that was gone in days!). We replaced the pecans with crushed candy canes which also made lovely holiday gifts. It had a very creamy smooth consistency and made great lunch box treats.
