First off, just so you know, there's no way you're cutting this 8"x8" square of fudge into 1" pieces & come up with 24 pieces. I ended up with almost 50 pieces! But, that's not the important thing here ~ What's really paramount here is that THIS FUDGE IS A FABULOUS ~ GREAT TASTING ~ WONDERFUL, & if you're like me, you'll eat most of it yourself anyway! Thanks so much for sharing a great keeper (the recipe, that is, 'cause the fudge is gone in no time at all)! [Made & reviewed as a recipenapped tag in Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #18]
