I make these on the stove top using a double boiler instead of microwave and they always turn out great. I also use my easy homemade sweetened condensed milk instead of canned. I've added in drained and chopped maraschino cherries, dried unsweetened cherries, craisins, brown rice krispies, freeze dried strawberries, and family, friends and coworkers always love them.

This was OK for when your in a pinch but I’ll stick to my old fashioned fudge recipe that my family prefers even though it takes a little longer.

This is the same recipe that has been my go-to for years, well, decades. Sometimes I add nuts, or craisens, or use mint chips- all good

Creamy, delicious fudge. I would love to try to make this fudge with different kinds of chips and adding things in, such as vanilla chips and candy cane bits or oreo cookie pieces. Easy to make, but found that it thickens up quickly. If you have an extra body to spread it in the pan, it helps.
