"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."

I made 1 1/2 times the recipe to make a nice thick piece of fudge, using a 9x13" pan. I let it come to a rolling boil, then it took about 25 minutes to thicken and pour into the pan. I let it sit for about 30 minutes to cool a bit, then scored and cut the fudge. We love it! Great old fashioned fudge.

This is a great fudge and comes out great using a thermometer. Make sure the thermometer isn't resting on the bottom of the pan or you will get a false reading. I added a big heaping spoonful of peanut butter and lots of chopped nuts, and Wowza, is this fudge good! It's just like my grandmother used to make back in the 50's. I made to bring into work. They are going to love it!
