THIS IS THE ONE!!! This was soooooo easy! ALmost too easy! Its the first time Ive ever made fudge & it turned out fabulous!!!!! I followed the directions to a T & it came out delicious....my husband ate some after it set, & even took some to work the next day, I shared some with my neighbor ( who used to own a diner) & she loved it & asked for the recipe! You CANT go wrong with this recipe...it tastes way better than the fudge at specialty shops & counters at the mall....theres no need to look any further for the perfect fudge recipe!!

my first attempt at fudge and a total success! will definitely make again

For those of you having problems with the chocolate seizing when you mix it with the sugar/milk/butter - you MUST use butter (or shortening), do NOT use margarine - it contains water and makes chocolate seize every time. Also, make sure everything you use is completely dry. I just tried this recipe and used margarine without thinking - and ended up with a huge, tough, lumpy mess that I had to throw out (what a waste of ingredients!) I'll try again with butter and re-review.

This was pretty good, but it's not that perfect recipe that I've been looking for. My batch was a little too hard, so I might not cook it as long next time around (if there is a next time). One of my coworkers really liked it and said it reminded her of old-fashioned fudge. It was an easy recipe, but not quite as creamy as I'd like.

This fudge alway's come's out great ! I make it every Christmas for my family . It also make's a great gift for a friend . I put nut's on top and on the inside .

Easy to make and tasted great! made 1 pan plain and added andes mint pieces to the other - both were great!

PLEASE... I NEED HELP. I have tried to make this fudge endless times and every single time I get the same result. The end result is always grainy.. I can taste the sugar crystals in every bite! I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything.. letting the mixture boil for only 2 minutes at medium speed to boiling it for 20 minutes at the lowest speed. I have even tried letting the mixture turn brownish.. is this right? What color should the mixture be when it needs to be removed from the heat? How can I get the sugar to melt so that I don't end up tasting it in every bite? Also, when I pour the mixture over the chocolate in the bowl.. is it supposed to be hard or really smooth. The last time I cooked it, it was almost impossible to mix it all together in the bowl because of how hard it was. Sorry, I am usually excellent at following recipes and can't quite understand why I am having such a hard time following this one. And it frustrates me further reading everyone else's comments about how easy it is to make. Someone please help :(

Didn't work for me. I got grainy chocolate soup.

This was so yummy! I doubled the recipe thinking I would need more, but the recipe made a ton. It was rich and creamy.

This fudge was so easy to make. I omitted the nuts because I don't care for them in fudge. Other than that I changed nothing. I had to work quickly to get it into the pan as it started to set right away. Delicious!

This fudge is wonderful! I have a family of picky eaters, and everyone loved it!

This fudge was amazing! This was mine and my Dads first time making fudge and it was so easy! With the chocolate chips we did half regular chocolate chips and half butterscotch chips for a twist. It was delicious. Definitely an easy melt in your mouth treat that people of all ages will enjoy. One tip: Be very patient when making the syrup and do so on low heat. It takes longer but you will have better results.

this recipe was exceptional. it is a variation of my grandmother's million dollar fudge recipe. i made, at the very least, 75 bars of fudge, and 2 days later, none we're left. it was exceptionally creamy, and had a very smooth flavor. it is one that i will definitely be making each holiday season!

Really good, it reminds me of my Mom's fudge. She actually thought it was her recipe at first! I'll definetly make this again.

Very easy to make. Taste & firmness was just right. Was complimented by someone who has lots of experience making fudge.

This was SOOO easy!! Very creamy too. Thanks for posting.

I made this for my holiday 'goodie' plates and everyone asked for the recipe!! i didn't use German chocolate, but all semi-sweet and it was quite yummy. I always had a problem with fudge hardening up, but remaining creamy. I poured this into a pan and refrigerated it before cutting with a knife dipped in hot water. It came out of the pan beautifully.

Absolutely wonderful confection. I really believe the end product depends on the type of chocolate used. A good quality chocolate will make all the difference. This being my very first attempt at making fudage I found this recipe to be simple and easy to follow. Pouring the hot creamed ingred. slowly helped the chocolate melt evenly. Also foil in the pan makes for easy removal. I stuck a pizza cutter in my freezer then used it to cut the fudge. Worked great!

This recipe was easy and delicious! The trick is to be patient when bringing the syrup mixture to a boil. cook over slow heat, stirring constantly. It takes a while...but is worth the time spent. The fudge comes out smooth and delicious. Also, I refrigerated it immediately. I waited until the next day to cut into pieces. This ensures that you get smooth cuts of the fudge. Thanks for sharing this easy and delicious recipe!!

For those of you looking for REALLY dark fudge, this is not the recipe for you. It was entirely too sweet for my family. However, the consistency was really nice.
