  • “5 stars for a wonderfully EASY and tasty recipe. I used the peanut butter option and since you didn’t specify the kind of flour I used almond flour. I had never heard of flour in fudge and was somewhat skeptical but it was great. It made it a bit less sweet than my usual peanut butter fudge made with marshmallows.I like this recipe better. Thank you for sharing.”

  • “I made this fudge and it was definitely good, the texture was a bit different from what I’m used to (I’m used to the grainy old fashioned break your arm off stirring kind) but it was realllly good. :DI subbed coconut powder for the flour and didn’t add any of the peanut butter/almond/peppermint flavour.Easy!Thanks for sharing :)”

  • “I made this fudge, and it wasn’t the greatest. I decided to use Peppermint Extract in mine. I didn’t have 1/2 tsp left in the bottle, and am I glad I didn’t! It was about 1/4 tsp that I used, and it was still overpoweringly minty. If I make it again, I will either exclude the peppermint extract, or I will put it an extremely small amount.”

  • “i made this recipe a while back and loved it so muchim making it again for the holiday picnic. cant wait to share it with my family. tnks for the great recipe. “

  • “This is an AWESOME recipe! I usually make the old fashioned-take forever and beat till your arm falls off kind (and still will occassionally), but have quickly added this recipe to my list of “keepers”. I have made it plain and with the almond flavor..both delicious! So easy and quick to make and it keeps very well also. Great texture….just love it!”

  • “I thought I could never make fudge in a million years, but this recipe makes it easy!It is helpful to know that “softball stage” is at 233-340 deg. farenheit and cooking is easy when you have a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.This fudge took about five minutes to make and was so good I swear it makes me feel guilty that it was soooo easy (we made the peanut butter kind)!I will be making this for Christmas gifts next year.My husband loved it so much he is refusing to share this batch with anyone else..and it makes alot! Thanks for posting!”
