I made this and followed the recipe carefully. It did not turn out like fudge! It's a gooey chocolate mess! It tastes good but not fudge. I would like to use it in something else and not waste it but haven't come up with an idea yet.

I think this recipe is missing an important step... cool? Cool in the fridge, on the counter, overnight? Because literally if I follow the directions, "Pour into a slightly buttered oblong glass dish. Dust w/ cocoa and sprinkle with more pecans. Cut into squares. Work fast..." I still have chocolate soup mixture when I'm trying to cut into squares.

Two attempts, both with bad results...would not recommend wasting time & materials on this recipe.

Hey Y'all, My momma used to make this, God rest her soul, and it is my favorite, BUT there were a couple rules she had to go with the recipe. One, only use a wooden spoon to stir it and two, never make when it is raining or the humidity is too high. Wouldn't turn out right...like one of the people commented on here - grainy and/or gooey. This fudge and a big glass of ice cold milk...oh, it takes me back. Thanks much.

Dear Paula, Hey, I hope you make it to the food festival in Miami again this year. We love having you. My mom used to make fudge and it was much dryer, more solid and firm than the easy type fudge featured in this recipe. I remember she used a double boiler, evaporated milk??? unsweetened chocolate??? very few ingredients. It was the common recipe used by all the ladies back in the 1950s, maybe off of a can of milk? My husband's mother made it the same way. I have never been able to duplicate it and I would really love to. Do you know of a recipe like that from your childhood? Anyway, I love ALL of your stuff. Your Ooey-Gooey cake has made me so fat...I am making every variation. I have a grandson named Jack who just turned six. Isn't being a Granny the best? Lots of Hugs, Suzanne

I am going to try makeing some of your candy it looks so good i just love your show
By mary gilbert on July 05, 2011
This is the closest fudge recipe I have found that reminds me of making fudge as a child. We always made it in a cast iron frying pan, and dropped a tiny bit into cold water to test it! I like it when it is a bit grainy, because that's the way I remember it tasting a child!! Leaving out the nuts, though, I like my fudge plain and simple, and super delicious!!!
By DonnaJean on July 05, 2011
paula you are the greatest cook around. i love all of your recipes. i try them all. and they are so simple. god bless you.
