Of course I will say it again, mine never looks like the photo. My fudge wouldn't drizzle but that was okay. I think where I went wrong on this was buying the low fat cream cheese so it lacked that really rich taste as well as wasn't as firm as I expected. I also got the off brand of caramels and think that the off brand lead to mine not having that wonderful caramel taste either. I guess if you are going to eat the calories go for it with the full cream cheese not the low fat. I also would look for a second recipe as you only use 1/4 cup of the evaporate milk.
