We have the BEST fudge here at the Jersey Shore and this recipe equals or TOPS it. The ONLY thing I added was an extra 1/2 cup of walnuts --- and that's only because the bag I bought contained 2 cups of nuts! It was great! My friend and neighbor (who is an excellent cook and baker), was so impressed with this fudge that she, for the first time ever, asked me for the recipe!! Also, I am a very straightforward cook --- a protein, a carb and a vegetable --- no baking or "fancy" cooking at all --- and she was astounded that I cooked a candy treat! I'm so glad I did! It's going to be a staple around here. Thanks for sharing this easy and delicious recipe with the rest of the world!

This was a really easy recipe to prepare, which I liked!!!! I made it on the stove top instead of the microwave. The consistancy was nice but not enough maple flavour for my liking, even after adding an additional tsp. I think I might try and tweak it a little to get the flavour I'm looking for!

This fudge is just fabulous!! I LOVE maple, and thought that 1 teaspoon maple flavoring would not be sufficient for me, so I put in a full tablespoon (3 teaspoons). I also cut the butter down to 2 tablespoons. It turned out perfect! Smooth, rich and creamy!

Wow. And fudge is normally way down on my list of go-to sweets. I made this for someone as a gift and was very pleasantly surprised how good it was. The texture is very smooth and it cut up into amazing little cubes so easily! I added an extra 1/2 tsp of extract and toasted the walnuts. Hello delicious!

OK this is for sure served on the candy platter served in heaven! Super easy to prepare and impossible to stay away from. Next time I'm going to try using Mexican style condensed milk. It has a caramel flavor and is great when you want to play with a recipe. Now it's out to the kitchen for another piece.

This fudge turned out awesome! Followed the directions exactly. Melted the mixture 30 seconds at a time on 50% power. It took about 3 minutes but did not burn and had good consistency. The maple flavoring is just right. I'll be making this recipe again and again.

One teaspoon of maple extract didn't really make this as mapley as I wanted, so I added another. That still didn't do the trick, so I squirted in some sugar free maple syrup and that did it. I cut this into very small pieces and took it to work with some other treats. Everyone loved it and I was asked for the recipe several times. Thanks so much for the recipe, SHORECOOK!

I made these to give out at Christmas and they were a huge hit. I had several people ask for the recipe. I left out the walnuts (I know, it's the most important part...) only because I wasn't sure about nut allergies at my office. It didn't have an overwhelming maple taste, just a hint, which was perfect. My husband ate a ton of it, and he doesn't even like fudge! Even the dogs ate it (which is another plus because since there's no chocolate, it was ok!). My favorite part about this recipe was how incredibly simple it was. Impossible to mess up, super quick and very very easy. Took 5 minutes tops! A+++++++
