This fudge was great. I guess I guessed correctly that you should use POWDERED sugar not granulated. This explains the large quantity.
This is a terrible recipe for fudge! It is not descriptive enough about the cooking techniques - very bad for beginners like me! It says to heat the mixture, but it doesn't say what heat setting on your stove, and whether or not to stir it. After you remove it from heat, it doesn't say if it should cool down to room temperature before adding the marshmallow, and it doesn't say if you should let it set in the refrigerator or not. As a result, my first try at fudge came out terrible - the chocolate burned in the pan either because I had the heat too high (I had it set on the "medium" setting of my dial) or because I didn't stir and maybe I should have.
This recipe has been far from rewarding for the effort and time involved. Despite my stirring constantly for 45 minutes the sugar never really melted to give the fudge the smoothness it should have. Moreover it got burned at the bottom although I used the low setting on the range. After pouring the fudge in the pan it hardened like a rock making cutting difficult. A total waste of time and ingredients.
12 15 00 I tried this recipe today and it turned out terrible sugary. I think the sugar amount must be wrong compared to others on the web. I will probably throw it away. Totally disappointed. Mrs. Sheets
I don't understand why it was not specified that it required powdered sugar.
I wish I had read the reviews first.
I did not use powder sugar my dad loved it. It reminded him of his Mom's. Thanks
I tried the recipe twice and just couldn't get it to work. I think the amount of sugar listed must be incorrect. It was very difficult to get the mixture to a boiling point it scorched easily and the finished product was very "gritty".
Not bad... IF you use powdered sugar. SIFTED powdered sugar. Otherwise you'll get little pellets. Good flavor. Not sure if I'll use again.
