Personal Notes:
Mamie Eisenhower is not known for her culinary prowess. And yet millions of families in the US copied her fudge recipe out of newspapers. Its ingredients were readily available in even the smaller grocery stores throughout the country. It remained the favorite fudge, particularly at Christmastime, or many families through the '50s and '60s. It was always included in my mother's panoply of delights.
