well lets see... this is my second time trying this recipe.... i tried it yesterday and sucsessfuly made chocolate soup. I called my grandmother and she said that it was because i didn't heat it up hot enough. so I got some more evaporated milk and tried again today. it is cooling now lets see how it turns out. I am giving it a 2 star for now because of how it went yesterday. well my second batch didn't turn out good either. but then I read sloberg6_4014161's reveiw. It said don't stir it and once it begins to cool beat it like there's no tomorrow. so I got my last 2 batches and re-heated them. waited for them to cool then beat it like there is no tomorrow (untill the gloss is gone It's really really really good. Thanks sloberg6_4014161! you really helped!giving it a 4 star because it was good but the recipe didn't tell you EVERYTHING you neded to know

Have NEVER had good success with fudge - until this recipe. Have made 5 times since just before Christmas, and each time was great!!! It was even so good I used some for gifts.
I didn't use quite all of the milk; used 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of evaporated milk, and made sure to cook it until the soft ball formed well in cold water, approx. 7 - 8 minutes past boiling. Also, instead of the 6 tbl. of butter, used 3 tbl. butter, and 3 tabl. peanut butter.
This fudge was incredible; very good, and there were numerous compliments on it. Thanks Paula.
