I made the Dummy Fudge, followed the recipe to a tee as I never seem to have much luck with fudge. It did not set! What a waste. Well not really as I used it as a topping for vanilla ice cream. But why wouldn't it set??

Since I first found this recipe (or maybe I even saw it on Paula's show) I've made this fudge every Christmas. I am not a fan of butterscotch so I trade them out with more chocolate chips. It's a hit every year! It's a true keeper! Thank you Paula!

I made your Dummy Fudge because I have a similar recipe. Mine is made in the Microwave oven so I thought I ’d try yours the same way. I put all the same ingredients together except that I added about a tablespoon of butter which my recipe calls for. I put it in for 5 minutes and then stirred it really good. And added the vanilla. I didn’t add any nuts this time. I put the mix in an 8 x 8 “ square glass pan. It was too large. I like my fudge thick and this was too thin. The next time I make this, I will either double the recipe or use a smaller pan. I don’t have room in my fridge to cool it so I left it on the counter and it hardened nicely. And the taste was wonderful!! I would rate it a five.

I have made this several times and have never had it to fail. The first time I made it I accidently used a bag of each of the chips instead of a cup of each and have continued to make it that way with no problems. Some friends have told me it's the best fudge they have ever had and have been asked many times for the recipe. They can't believe how easy it is!!

This is a weird consistency and the butterscotch does not belong in fudge! I made it for a Christmas party and people made faces as they ate it... blech.

This was so easy and wonderful. I exchanged the butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips and it was fabulous. I left it in the refrigerator about 30 minutes and added 2 cups of nuts instead of 1. It is perfect and everyone loves it!! Great Recipe!!!

This recipe just needs a 1/2 cup more chocolate chips and 1/2 cup more butterscotch chips. This helps it to set up instead of being gooey.

This was very easy to make but didn't turn out very good. The fudge would only harden if put in the freezer. My husband & kids said it tasted good, but it was the consistency of soft carmel candies. I followed the recipe exactly so don't think I did anything wrong. Ended up throwing it all away.
