"A recipe from one of my mom's friends she worked with in food service years ago. I have substituted pecans for walnuts. To make a white coconut fudge, substitute white sugar for the brown and coconut instead of nuts. This fudge is very rich, so cutting into smaller pieces would be advised. Edited to add: An update has been made to the instructions after some confusion with the original. "

When making the fudge the directions are very vague as to how long to boil the fudge. I was confused whether or not you left the heat on low and let it come to a roaring boil, or if you turned it up to get it to a roaring boil. I brought it to a soft ball stage using the cold water method. I let it cool and added the powdered sugar and started mixing. It wasn't smooth and creamy at all. It was formed clumps after mixing. When I put it in the pan it didn't spread on its own. I had to push it down with my hands to form the fudge. The fudge is rather crumbly, but the taste is good.. buttery and nutty. Making it wasn't a breeze, and an inexperienced cook would have a hard time with this one I think.
