Three of the season's best flavors-nuts, chocolate and peppermint-combine in a delightful manner in this scrumptious fudge. The two distinct layers are eye-catching-another reason why this candy makes a great holiday gift.

Homemade Peppermint Ice CreamWhen peppermint stick ice cream isn't available, I crush 15-20 hard peppermint candies or small candy canes and fold into a half gallon of softened vanilla ice cream. —Barb Gribble, Arena, Wisconsin

I too am looking at a bowl of mostly powdered sugar cocoa dust. There is simply not enough "wet" ingredient to bind the powder together. I think the recipe must be missing an ingredient or has a typo for the amount of cream cheese or milk listed.

I never tasted it as i gave them to my kids for Christmas. That's my chief complaint as this recipe just doesn't seem to make as much fudge as others. Only a loaf pan instead of a 9 in square. I found it rather dry putting together as well. I give it a three however since my kids made no complaints about it.

I joined this site just to review this recipe. It is AWFUL. You are basically making thick, oversweet layers of frosting. I doubled the cocoa powder and it still had poor chocolate taste. But worse, it never set properly. I had to throw the lot out. I'm quite skilled in the kitchen and can't figure out what happened and am very curious as to the few good reviews here.

I won't make this again. Just sweet, no real flavour. Mixing Dixie, you might've used the recipe for this that I have from the Dec/Jan 2001 issue of TOH. It calls for only 1/2 tsp milk in each layer. Not nearly enough to mix everything together. The recipe shown here has increased the amounts. I ended doing that myself but am still not impressed with this recipe.

I followed this recipe to a T- and ended up with a pan of powdered sugar. I was very upset with the results and the wasted money to make this. I doubled checked numerous times to see if I made an error, and just can't figure out what happened here!!
