This is really easy and very good. One variation I made was also very good -- I used the spiced gumdrops. Everyone liked that version even better than the original. Definitely a keeper for years to come!

It turned out really good, but it is super, super sweet.

I got rave reviews when I made this. I want to use mini gummy bears next time. To avoid the sugar not dissolving from the gumdrops I was thinking too, that the Dots candy could be used or gummy candies. This was a fun fudge, for the colors and flavors

Consider using part white chocolate squares. The candy coating is mostly tasteless, hence the low rating.

This was way too sweet for my tastes, not what i expected in a fudge. It is very easy to make, but wasn't a big hit with my family.

This candy was so easy to make and very pretty on the goodie platter. It tastes great, too.

This is very sweet, but in a good way. You can't eat too much.

It looks very pretty on my cookie platters. I will make it yearly, only takes a couple on each plate to add that festive look.

I made this last Christmas and will make it again this year. Was a big hit! This is beautiful, festive, fun. Yes, it's sweet - have one. Use scissors to cut the gumdrops. I melted the white candy coating in the mircrowave. Quick easy delicious - was a big hit.
