I gotta say, some of you must have done something wrong and a bunch of us must have done something right. Overall rating speaks for itself. The low ratings just served to bring down the better ones, so I don't put much into them.

Great fudge recipe, tastes like my grandma's old fashioned recipe. Turned out great. Those that are having problems, try using only wooden spoon to stir, do not stir while cooking, make fudge on a dry day.

I really should of read these reviews before I made this. We had to make for my daughters speech class this. So of course a time crunch. I have been making fudge for many years and never had it turn out this bad. This was the first time i made this thought would try something different. I followed it to a T and made two times because I thought i did something wrong and of course I did not. I believe all of you that said it turned out great did something different like cool it or you are just trying to suck up to the cook. I love Paula Deen I even have her pots and pans but the honest truth is that this recipe was not complete and sucked. Luckily I have my own recipe for great fudge and should never of tried something different at the last minute. My daughter was very disappointed with this and it will not be her project we will go with someone elses. And i will always read the reviews now before i make anyones reciepe again.

This recipe is easy and delicious. The people who are saying it didn't turn out or turned out like taffy simply do not know how to make fudge. There is nothing wrong with this recipe,and if you know what you're doing it will turn out every time. I have made this recipe at least 5 times and not once has it not set up for me. Thanks Paula for yet another great recipe.

If you can't get the fudge to set, it's because you are sturing it while its cooking. You do not touch this while its cooking at all, med heat and let it come to softball, then as it starts to get thick, beat the hell out of it, do it fast, do it hard..Its a great workout... Serously...Get mad at it

Me and my son made it at Thanksgiving, and it didn't turn out right we followed the directions just like Paula says and it didn't turn out right. And I have made it like 2 times before and it still didn't turn out right. I have found another recipe. I haven't tried it just yet but from the looks of it the recipe may be a lot better then Paula's. No offense to Paula though I love her show(s.Maybe this recipe below will maybe help also....

Ingredients

* 2 cups sugar
* 3/4 cup milk
* 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, cut up
* 1 teaspoon light-colored corn syrup
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional
* 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Line a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil; set pan aside.

2. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, milk, chocolate, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 234 degrees F, soft-ball stage (20 to 25 minutes.

3. Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Cool, without stirring, to 110 degrees F (about 55 minutes.

4. Remove thermometer from saucepan. Beat mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until fudge just begins to thicken. If desired, add nuts. Continue beating until the fudge becomes very thick and just starts to lose its gloss (about 10 minutes total.

5. Immediately spread fudge in the prepared pan. Score into squares while warm. When fudge is firm, use foil to lift it out of pan. Cut fudge into squares. Store tightly covered. Makes about 1-1/4 pounds (32 pieces.

I tried 3 different fudge recipes from 3 different chefs from the Food Network site and all were disappointing until Paula's old time recipe. I made it as Christmas presents this year and sent to all the relatives with fabulous reviews. Critical not rush it and make sure it reaches the soft ball stage. Then make sure you don't skimp on the stirring before putting in the pan. Sets up beautifully, glossy, smooth, and creamy.

I made this fudge on my night off and with little time to make anything I wanted to make fudge for family . The peanutbutter fudge came out great. This chocolate fudge came out like frosting. Very disappointing.Needless to say, no fudge for Chistmas.
