"This is an "OUT OF THIS WORLD" old fashioned recipe that my gram always made when I was growing up, and she always brought it out when company came, and that was often. It is one of my 4 favorite fudge recipes, and it is delicious!!! I am posting the other 3 also. This fudge is different than most fudges, not the soft creamy kind... It has a different texture which I personally prefer. It is loaded with nuts and is chocolaty and delicious! All I know, is it's one that will have you back in the dish searching for more, till it's gone. NOTE: I can tell you from experience, it is best to use the candy thermometer, and DO NOT make on a rainy day, as it will not harden properly! I always make it with the peanut butter."
