I REMEMBER MY MOM MAKING THIS IS A CHILD USUALLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME OR FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION. I ALWAYS LOVED TO WATCH AND LEARN SO I COULD DO THE SAME. THIS IS THE ORGINAL FUDGE RECIPE FROM HERSHEYS COCOA! I REMEMBER MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW BRITTANY ASKING ME TO TEACH HER HOW TO MAKE IT. AS WE WERE PREPARING THE FUDGE WAITING ON IT TO GET TO THE ROLLING BOIL, WE WERE CHATTING TRYING TO KEEP THE BABIES OUT OF HARMS WAY I OVERCOOKED THE FUDGE WHICH WAS NOW SCROCHED! NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD TO TRASH THAT BARCH AND START OVER. NOTE TO SELF THIS IS A RECIPE THAT NEEDS YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION ! THIS FUDGE IS AO RICH 1 SQUARE IS ALL YOU NEED! HOWEVER ITS SO DELISH ITS HARD TO STOP AT JUST ONE!
