Dee, I make the fudge for our cookie/candy fest every year, and I'm tired of the same old chocolate and peanut butter fudge ( both the fool-proof kind  ).  I'm definitely going to try this one this year!  I'll let you know how badly I screw it up. 

When I bought groceries earlier today I bought the ingredients to make this too.  I'll be making it in the next day or two.  This is one of my moms recipes she gave me a very long time ago.  I was hoping someone would try it.  I love this fudge.

I made a batch of this last night and did I ever screw it up.  I didn't cook the sugar and cream long enough and it didn't harden like it should have so while it's still eatable, it's better to eat it with a spoon than try to cut it in squares. 

 

Am going to make another batch this weekend and see if I can't do it right this time.  You have to bring the cream and brown sugar to just the right boil before it turns out good and it's not that hard to do but I was in a hurry and just thought it was ok when it wasn't.  

I made some cocoa fudge a couple weeks ago from a recipe I found on the net (one of the product companies, Nestle, Hershey or Carnation, can't remember which), it directed you to cook the evaporated milk and butter for 4-6 minutes then add the cocoa, marshmallow cream and vanilla, stir to incorporate and spread in pan to cool, I cooked it 6 minutes - it came out like a brick.
