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.

This is my favorite kind of candy. I couldn't believe how easy it was to make!

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.

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.
