    Make sure that you are using natural and NOT dutch processed cocoa or you will have soup/runny fudge.

    I use 1 1/2 cups of whole fresh goat milk and less corn syrup. You can vary even with adding a cup of peanut butter after cooking. I let the cooked mixture cool til about 120 then stir but found with the peanut butter, I need to stir sooner than later.

    I loved this recipe, my Mom said "this brings back so many memories", Mom is 83 so I was really hopeful that it would turn out. I have been trying fudge recipes and have had everyone to fail; so I read all reviews and the thing I did was after temp got to correct soft ball stage, I waited until it went down to 110 degrees before adding my vanilla and butter. Thank you for the wonderful fudge!!!!!

    Poor rating because....
    She forgot one very important step. After the fudge mixture gets to 'soft ball" stage, (it's better to use the 'cold water method" to test you add the butter and vanilla extract but DO NOT STIR until the fudge gets cool, (about 50 to 60 min. Then, beat mixture vigorusly until it begins to thicken. Continue beating until the fudge loses its gloss

    I've never made fudge before. I have all the ingredients. What I'm looking for is a step by step recipe for dummies like me. When to stir, when not to stir, etc..

    This is the worst fudge I've ever made. It did not set up immediately as she said it would. I bought enough to make 5 batches and I'm so disappointed in the outcome. I even used a candy thermometer to make sure it was the right temperature, and it still couldn't be cut until an hour after it cooled and it broke apart, was gooey, and anything like fudge I've made in the past. This is not a good recipe, I'm not happy about wasting all the money for it including th Ghiriadelli Cocoa.

    I fallowed the directions even using a candy thermometer. The temp was right and also made a soft ball in cold water. It any set about half way. Is there anyway to fix it.

    I wish I could tell you how this tastes, but it's sitting in a pan. It's chocolate soup with nuts. This recipe said nothing about mixing it till the sheen is gone. I'm so disappointed.

    Had a good flavor, but wound up tacky. I used the candy thermometer and followed it to a T. This recipe stuck to my teeth.
