Some 17 years ago, when I was dating the man who is now my husband, his mother gave me this recipe for his favorite fudge. It's a tasty treat that's so simple to make.

Wish I could give this recipe more than 5 stars! We made fudge to give to our neighbors for Christmas. One of our friends sent us a thank you note saying the last piece of fudge created martial strife as they negotiated for the last piece! LOLThe fudge was very easy to make and one batch makes a ton. We keep thinking about this fudge so I have a feeling we won't wait until Christmas to make it again!

I know this recipe from one of my Mom's old cookbooks (Mamie Eisenhower's Fudge) and have been making it for many years. I make a dark chocolate version of this fudge for my Mom, just change the chocolates, you can also add dried fruits instead or with the nuts. In the dark version, dried craisins, cherries are delicious (at least according to my Mom-it's her favorite). To Encscally-there are two reasons that fudge will not set: one is the boil, meaning the boil should be a full scale boil, all across the top, then immediately reduce the heat; second humid conditions-any kind of dampness, even cold dampness can mess with this type of fudge--could be from a humidifier, the outdoor weather, even the dishwasher. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for posting the recipe, its an old recipe and its sad how many of those get lost, also I will forward it to my son, so that I don't have to type my own and it's many variations--

Have made this recipe for years. Wonderful. If you are just starting to make fudge always use a wooden spoon. There is less chance of the fudge becoming grainy. I always use a candy thermometer and test it before each use. Also if you don't have a candy thermometer be sure the candy has come to a good boil and don't turn down too low so it stays at a medium boil.

i HAVE USED A SLIGHTLY ALTERED VERSION OF THIS fUDGE. USE MINI MARSHMALLOWS IN PLACE OF MARSHMELLOW CREME.AND INSTEAD OF CHOCO. CHIPS USE ANY VARIETY OR COMBINATION. RECIPE IS FROM 1961 BETTER HOMES & GARDEN. IT MAKES A 9 X13 CAKE PAN. TRY IT IS MORE CREAMY AND MMM GOOD .

To Enscally: Some years back I was told to never make candy when it's raining or if you're running a humidifier 'cause the extra humidity can change the outcome of the recipe. Of course, I have no idea what your circumstances were, but that's something to keep in mind.

This recipe is so easy and creamy. Everyone wanted a copy of recipe. I did boil it for the 6 min. started timing after I got a rolling boil. A definite keeper.
