  • “I can’t believe how great this fudge is!! It’s smooth and creamy, but not with the mushy texture. This is the kind you can actually bite! It’s really too good! I couldn’t leave it alone! Easy to make too. It only took about 20 minutes from start to finish. Thanks for this great recipe!”

  • “Inez, this is an excellent fudge. Is the cream of tartar the secret ingredient. This is the very first time I have seen it in a fudge recipe.No wonder you are famous for this fudge! =)”

  • “We were quite amazed that this was so easy to make. Definitely will make this a lot!”

  • “I hate recipes like this. You make it, and it goes so darn quick you only get one piece! It was made to have for dessert but was gone before dinner was even started. LOL! This is absolutely awesome fudge, and we thank you for the recipe. We thank you so much we’re making again today. *s* Chuck”

  • “This is by far the best fudge recipe I have ever come across. I have made it several times for the kids and they keep asking for more!!”

  • “well i did not make it but inez sent me some in my swap box and boy was it good i ate almost all of it mysealf”

  • “Wonderful!I almost ruined it by dropping my candy thermometer into the pan!!So because of that I overheated it just a tad, but it was still great!I also omitted the walnuts.Thanks!”

  • “Made this as a surprise for my 15 yr. old daughter who’s middle name should be “Reese”. It was fast, easy and she loved it! Creamy and rich and the chocolate-peanut butter combo was, as always, delicious!P.S.Skipped the nuts, cause no one is fond of them here, but it still turned out perfect!”

  • “Out of this world!!!!!!! I am so happy I found this recipe. This is fudge the way fudge is supposed to be!!! Thank you!!!”

  • “This is REAL peanut butter fudge!! Fantastic! I will be making a lot of this for the holidays. Thanks so much for the recipe!! “

  • “Fudge is my favorite candy and I’ve made hundreds of pounds of it in my lifetime.I was worried about stirring this while it was still hot since conventional wisdom dictates fudge must cool down before you stir it.No problem!You get to eat it that much faster!”

  • “This is so simple and really very good. I don’t normally keep cream of tarter on hand, so I substituted 1/8 tsp baking powder and 1/8 tsp baking soda. Turns out fantastic. And sets up so nice.Thank you for the post”

  • “A friend of mine made a batch of peanut butter fudge and a batch of chocolate fudge and brought me some of each…I decided to return the favor only I mixed the two into one with this recipe and took her some…She claims its the best fudge she has ever had and demanded the recipe from me right then! She has since stopped making her old fudge recipes and makes this one! The people at her office request her to bring this everytime they have their Friday potlucks! Thanks so much for posting this delicious recipe!”

  • “I was unsure when I was pouring it into the pan, but it was delicious (and easy with a candy thermometer) I made this for Christmas cookies, and it made a nice, smooth fudge. I did omit the walnuts, however for personal preference. :)”

  • “Delicious . Great experience for my first time fudge.Smooth texture andyummy flavor.Making more for my trip to the family Christmas visit.Thanks for sharing!”

  • “Finally!! I’ve found a fudge recipethat is easy, and sets up fast! My teenage son, Shayne,kept going back for seconds, thirds, and fourths! Delicious Fudge! Thanks! Katie”

  • “This recipe is amazing!I made it without the walnuts, and it still turned out perfect.Make sure you allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting.”
