It was the tastiest failure I ever made. I made this for a Christmas goodie basket, and it was so runny it had to be frozen before packaging. I thought everyone would be put off by it's texture, but everyone was licking it off the waxed paper! People raved about it. I would suggest cooking it to a higher temperture and being very sure that is crystalizes, but I have no complaints about the flavor- it was absolutely delicious. The perfect flavor makes it a keeper.

well to be honest the taste of this was exactly what i was looking for but the texture didn't work for me. mine was extremely hard to stir and hardened too much.i may have boiled it to too high a temperature as i didn't have a thermometer. i will try again with it.

I used fat free half-and-half and it turned out quite well -- not quite as creamy as I would have liked but this was possibly due to boiling or beating it too long.

This fudge came out so bad I had to throw the whole batch in the trash. It was still sugar/gritty after letting it cook to the right temp. Even the flavor was not that great, and it requires way too many nuts!

I followed the recipe as written. I was a little disappointed. I was hoping for a smooth, creamy texture. Instead, it turned out quite granular, like a soft cube of brown sugar.

WAY too much brown sugar! Not too bad as far as taste but the texture was not fudge-like at all... It was very grainy and was basically a pan of sugar. Next time I'll try using less sugar and a little more butter.

It turned out crumbly. It tasted okay but the pieces just fell apart.

I guess I was expecting something different when I made this, but it was basicly a brown sugar prailine.. It would be improved with a pie crust to cut the sweetness. It was so rich that my husband and I could barely finish one square. Then it sat in my kitchen until I threw it out! Was kind of a waste of time to make, unless you like eating what seemed like pure sugar!
