This fudge is a big hit every time I make it. I make 1 change. I double the salt to make it less sweet.

As others have said, this candy is very pretty and very sweet. I really liked the white "fudge" part of the candy and the fruity gum drops I used gave good flavor. However, the sugar on the outside of the gum drops did not dissolve, giving each bite a little sugary gritty crunch. Didn't care for that. I will definitely play with this recipe, though -- Maybe nuts instead of gum drops. Or maybe nuts with a tiny bit of caramel swirled through. Think it needs something salty added instead of sweet.

This is one of only 2 recipies from TOH that I've ever been disappointed in, & the other one was my fault (got water in the melted chocolate).I made this DEC2010 as part of a gift package & I'm hoping the recipients liked it better than I did. (Some of the commenters here obviously like it.)Yes, it's pretty, but it doesn't taste good.I won't make it again.

I would change from the gum drops to the candied red and green cut up cherries. Just as pretty and maybe not so sweet?

It took forever to cut up the gumdrops into very small pieces. I ended up getting a blister on my finger. I even used the suggestion of putting the candy in the freezer for a few minutes prior. My grandparents loved these, but the rest of the family did not. The candy was indeed pretty.

This is super super sweet. I did not enjoy it very much but others loved it. As for the cutting up of gumdrops **USE SCISSORS** I have a dishwasher safe pair used only for food, saves a LOT of prep time in the kitchen.

Very good and so pretty. I used the jumbo gumdrops by Zachary at Walmart. Putting them in freezer for 20 minutes made cutting them up much easier.
