This is, by far, the easiest fudge recipe I've ever made. I just made my first batch this morning, and it's so delicious that I'm making another batch in a few minutes!

This unbelieveably simple fudge is just as delicious! I gave it as a part of gift baskets I made for Christmas and it was a huge hit! This is definitely a keeper!
