This is a great technique for making fudge! I used 12 oz milk chocolate chips, 9 oz reese's peanut butter chips, and about a cup and a half of toasted walnuts. The fudge tastes amazing, and set up perfectly after an hour in the refrigerator. It starts to set up pretty quickly once the chips are melted into the condensed milk, so stirring the walnuts in became a slight chore...but nothing I couldn't handle. I also pressed mine into an 8x8 square pan instead of fussing with a wreath.

I tried making Paula Deen's Dummy Fudge recipe last Christmas, which I believe only called for 1 cup of each kind of chip along with the condensed milk. That fudge never did firm up for me. I will stick with Rachael's ratios of chips to milk and keep creating my own variations.

So easy to make and so easy to modify! And you will not be able to stop eating it so get it out of the house asap! I'm not a butterscotch fan so I forwent that. Instead I added 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter and it was good, but I'm going to try milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet. The semi sweet seemed to drown out the peanut butter. Today I used all white chocolate chips and added a tablespoon of peppermint flavor and it is amazing. I crunched up some red and green colored candy canes and mixed them in at the last minute. They added a nice color and crunch to the fudge. HOWEVER, you have to leave this fudge in the fridge overnight to get a really good fudgey consistency. Next I'm going to try to make a dark chocolate orange fudge!

I don't make the wreath, I just use a square pan and use wax paper to line it. Pops right out.

I made this fudge a few times many years ago and it is quick, easy and delicious. You do have to work quickly because it does start to set almost immediately after you put it in the pan to cool. I will make a couple of these for gifts this Christmas. Excellent recipe, Rachel!!!!

I am getting ready to make this......and I have a silly question. How hard is this going to be to take out of the pan in one piece? I really don't want to ruin such a pretty wreath.

It gave me a lil trouble taking it out of the pan......but still came out in 1 piece and looked very nice. I did have to give most of it away as it was too much for hubby and me. Our friends loved it and some wanted the recipe. I used dried cranberries instead of the currants and it tasted so YUMMY. I will definitely be making a few of these for Christmas gifts. So happy that I found this recipe. This recipe is DEFINITELY a keeper and deserves a 5 star rating. :

I've made this as Christmas gifts for years - the one batch round pan is a hostess gift (be sure to prep the condensed milk can BEFORE making the fudge - I usually pour the milk into a greased measuring cup One batch also makes 4 small wreaths which I give to co-workers (I got Wilson small bunt pans that the middle part pops out of The small gift tins found at Christmas Tree Shop or Dollar Tree makes a nice presentation for little $$

This is an annual favorite for Valentines and all holidays! I even make it for easy birthday gifts when the celebrant doesn't want a gift, they love this fudge. I use the chocolate and add the peanut butter chips and a little peanut butter with walnuts to make it even richer tasting. Thank you Rachel!

Additionally, the original recipe does not call for the currants; I always use chopped pecans.

This is the best fudge I've ever had, hands down! I've been making it for a few years now and not only does it taste fantastic and creamy, but it makes a BEAUTIFUL presentation. Everyone who tastes it cannot stop eating it - it will get you tons of compliments,and it is SO EASY to make! I use a non-stick metal cake pan and it works fine. This season I made mine with golden raisins, craisins and walnuts. My garnish was the candied red and green cherries - I've used pecans and coconut in previous batches - it is always wonderful - box it up and give it to your family and friends for a great (and much appreciated gift!
