"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This was mom's "go to" fudge recipe every Christmas. It was always foolproof and did not require a candy thermometer. Every cookie box she gave as a gift contained at least 4 or 5 pieces of fudge...which were usually the first to be eaten!
