"I work for Nestle in Canada and a couple of weeks ago we hand wrapped and delivered 1200 samples of this to the people in our building. It is really, really yummy. (Trust me, I ate enough while wrapping to get a good idea!)"

Made for Comfort Cafe - Winter Snow Queen Round 1/10. I enjoy making fudge from scratch, and this was simply a joy to make. So easy to stir and mix up, especially with my arthritis. Texture was silky smooth--not grainy. I didn't find it overly sweet and neither did DH who commented that it wasn't as sweet as other fudge I have made, and he liked it much better. Definitely a save-the-recipe-and-make-again fudge. Thanks for sharing, Strawberry Girl!

Awesome! Huge hit at a small group dinner. I took a cake, but did the fudge for one who is on gluten free diet. The fudge went over better than the cake. Also very easy.
