This is a good recipe for fudge, but there is something that I would want to stress along with it. You do need to bring your mixture to exactly soft ball stage. If you dont reach it, then you will have a dish of goo. If you exceed it, you will have a crumbly mess. So, if you want to make this fudge and have it turn out well, use a thermometer!

Could not get this fudge to set

I only give this two stars because I hated it. Was no way near real fudge! It turned out grainy. So sweet too that i had to throw away afta 2 days! i was looking forward to my first fudge that I cooked but didn't like it. i tasted other peeps fudge and they were great! I give this only two stars because my sisters liked em. Next time I will read all reveiws first! So I'll know what a soft ball stage is and why it went grainy!

This recipe is terribly deficient. It doesn't give beginning fudgers even a chance, and any regular fudger knows, all good fudge recipes are finicky and require much more direction, not to mention, a dash of salt.

Great fudge, my so said it was the best thing I ever made! I dont have a candy therm. so it took awhile to get to soft ball stage but was well worth it!!!

Wow - did this work out perfectly. I let the pan cool in a water bath after stirring in the peanut butter. The gloss faded and after half a minute of hard beating with a big strong wooden spoon, it went into the 8x8 buttered glass dish easily. It started to set pretty quickly, and I used a hand-sized piece of foil to press it flat. A comment on the other review about the recipe not firming up - I instinctively added the evaporated milk by pouring in the whole can, then remembered the aforementioned review, and realized I the mistake. I was able to remove enough of the excess milk and thought maybe someone else might do the same, hence this note.

I tried this recipe for the first time & it didn't solidify very well like fudge normally does. I followed the recipe to a "T" and don't know if something can be done differently to fix this problem?

horrible- Tasted like a No-Bake cookie minus the oatmeal. And I love No-Bake cookies.

I have been using this recipe for 20+years.....to make regular chocolate fudge- use 2 tsp. vanilla-instead of the peanut butter. This recipe was sent to my daughter in Saudia Arabia (mails very well)

It tasted ok. But it never set. It was like a big blob of chocolate mess.

I think the wording should be changed, I got confused with how you said bring it to a hard boil i did and it burned, i might try it again now that i reread the recipe.

It was really easy, but it turned into a big chocolate sugar clump.

Chocolate Fudge was always one of mom's favorites to make now that I am a grandma myself i injoy the same thing's with my grandkids a they only ask for more you can't just eat one !!

This is some really good fudge, and fairly quick and easy. As a plus, if you grease the pan with real butter, this recipe is soy-free. I am allergic to soy, so this fudge is some of the only chocolate I can eat.

well perhaps it is me or perhaps it is the recipe but mine turned out dry and crumbly after i added the peanut butter. perhaps i boiled it past the soft ball stage but i thought it was the right consistancy. i will not make this recipe again

This recipe was fast but didn't set up when I made it, so I re-cooked it and it still didn't set up. Besides the stickyness it tasted ok but I was very dissapointed in this recipe, and ended up throwing it out.

I was very pleased with the quickness of this fudge, and the overall results.

It was great and easy and fun!
