Fantabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never, ever been successful making any kind of fudge, but I thought I would give this recipe a try after seen Alton... make it on his show. Well, my entire family went nuts over it. I couldn't believe how easy it was and I have passed the recipe along to my sister, whose family also loved it. Thanks Alton!Read more

Best and easiest Peanut Butter Fudge
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was simple to follow it takes no time at all and in 1 hour or so this fudge is read to eat. This recipe is simple to... double and I made it for a potluck at work and everyone loved it. We cannot make this to much because my wife and I eat every bit that we make.Read more

Worst fudge ever
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Fudge never hardened. Made sure to follow the easy directions to the letter, then the next day I even made a second batch... because I wanted to make sure it wasn't my error and that one didn't take either. What a waste of ingredients and it's a shame because I didn't have enough money to buy more to try another recipe:(Read more
