It was good but it doesn't taste like a true chocolate fudge. It tastes more like rich chocolate candy bar because it is very chocolatey and thick but not fluffy.

The perfect fudge!~! I used about 1/4 c. of finely chopped pecans which added visual interest and a bit of substance to the recipe. There is NO other fudge recipe.
