I got this recipe from a co-worker and also from the show GOOD EATS. It is the best, and never fails.

I had to splash just a tad more milk in this to make it stirable. It came out of the microwave waaaay too thick to even stir! Good luck!

I will add a bit more milk next time, but other than that the result was wonderful. I'd gladly trade some stirring difficulty for watching & waiting for the soft ball stage anytime.

I made this today and the fudge did not set up? and I followed the steps juat as they were listed. Anyone ever have this happen? or any ideas how to make the next batch set up. (it taste good if you want to spoon it out of the pan)

Hi Moon,

Try checking the temperature with an instant thermometer. Remove fudge from microwave first. The temperature should reach 238°F.

I'm with moon, I made the fudge according to the recipe above and it came out of the microwave like soup. I added another pound of powdered sugar and it was OK.

For those of you wondering how much is a pound of powdered sugar....4 cups of unsifted p.sugar makes a pound. Excellent and easy!

I have made this fudge multiple times and it always comes out perfect.

Use butter, not margarine.

So quick and easy! My first time ever making fudge. I had to microwave it for an extra minute, but could be because our microwave is kind of old and small. My husband loves peanut butter and I'm sure he will love this!

Last minute idea - should've thunk it through more, but poured over marshmallows - next time will make graham wafer crust, then mini marshmallows then fudge on top!

i made the mistake of using 1 kg im sure thats what bam did, i just doubled the other ingredients and the problem was fixed

Always turn out great even when I double it. MMMm MMMM good.

Wow. This recipe has never failed for me, never. Those who cook often know that humidity will affect the outcome of any recipe.

This is my favorite recipe!

I added a teaspoon of vanilla after it was out of the microwave. Very good for being so easy.
