This is, hands down, the best fudge you will ever eat, and believe me, I’ve eaten a lot of fudge. I love it! But again, I love it if it’s delicious. I don’t want it if it’s mediocre. You know what I mean. When it’s waxy or dry or chewy. Fudge isn’t supposed to be chewy. It’s supposed to be creamy and melt in your mouth. That’s what this recipe is – melt in your mouth!
I’m not sure where this recipe came from. I think my brother gave it to me about 30 years ago and I have been making it every Christmas since.
I typically make this fudge plain, just milk chocolate. But I had a bag of Caramel Bits in the cupboard and I thought, why not? So glad I did because WOW. It is delicious!
