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.

As with the others the fudge did not set as expected. I was disappointed with the consistency.
The taste is good but it's not fudge-y like wanted. More like frosting.

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..
