Can u sub almond milk for hwc
jenniferbanz says
You could try, it may work
Debbie says
I've made this several times, I think it's the best recipe I've found for "real" fudge.
Kathy says
This is a very simple recipe. I add a teaspoon of vanilla or other flavoring. Since the recipe calls for cutting it in smaller pieces so I can eat several pieces. I store it in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator.
Lou Darrah says
This is delicious. Maybe too good😃
Kim Darnelll says
Can you freeze this fudge? And if so for how long ? Thanks you in advance?
jenniferbanz says
Yes definitely! I would freeze for up to 2 months
Christine says
Wouldn't last long enough to freeze in my house!
Ro says
Oh my goodness! Just made this with Lily’s dark chocolate chips and black walnuts. Best bite I’ve had in months....and I just scraped some out of the pot after freezing the recipe....about a teaspoon full. And yes, I wanted to eat the whole pan full - but refrained. 😊 I highly recommend this recipe. I bet it would be scrumptious with a bit of orange zest and pistachios!
