Personal Notes:
I can remember standing next to my daddy when he would make this. We did not have a pot or pan the right size so Daddy would take the old metal ice cube trays, take the separator out of it and butter it, pour the fudge in and put in fridge. Then the best part - we got to scrape the pan! There was nothing better than daddy's homemade fudge.
