Our family is very active in our county fair. This fudge was the only fair entry not to melt in the 100°-plus weather we had that year.—Jeannie De Vries, Martinton, Illinois

This is easy, fast recipe. The taste and texture hits the spot and cures the craving.I like that it is no cooking required, just melting of butter.

Don't know if I did it wrong or what but it never set up, after 5 hours in fridge it still isn't set. I measured everything exactly, buttered the foil, mixed in the right order, it's basically a more difficult icing recipe. Never making it again.

Easy to make and so easy to eat, yummy. I omitted the candies as the fudge is plenty sweet on its own. Everyone really enjoyed this treat.
