I made the fudge...

[1GoldenSun]

I made the super-secret, easy-peasy, Canadian fudge just now. It hasn't cooled enough for me to cut it yet, but I scraped every scrap out of the pan, it's so good! I think the condensed milk gives it a bit of a different flavor (in a good way) that fudge usually doesn't have.

I know I should save the recipe somewhere but I probably won't; I'll be back here this time next year asking for it!

Next I'm going to try making that brown sugar, butter, pecans, and graham crackers thingy.

So... is this the Marshmallow Fluff fudge, aka Fantasy Fudge? Or something else?

I believe the OP means this one, from another thread here on the DIS:

I made it too! Made two pans of it last night to give coworkers as gifts. Got up this morning and cut it into small squares and divided it between all of them. Its is really good!

Yes, the "cheap, easy" fudge that we're supposed to act like you need to be a chemistry major to pull off, haha.

Although that Fantasy Fudge sounds pretty good too! Seeing as I am not at all tired out from my earlier fudge endeavors, I may have to try this one next. The graham cracker thing was good, too.

YESSSS!!!! I had forgotten all about those boxes! And mine used to fill in the space with loose popcorn in lieu of packing peanuts. I still love the combined smell of sugar and new shoes!

Where is the tag fairy when you need her?

too true. it just was'nt the same when some of the aunts discovered pringle's cans b/c then all the cookies had to be uniform in size to stack in them (though the residual salt in the cans made for a nice sweet/savory flavor).

Now that you mention her, I haven't seen the tag fairy in a LONG time?

What's the tag fairy?

Glad it worked for you.
I only make Fantasy Fudge....for years and years....and years.
I vary it....add cranberries, use almonds instead of walnuts (that's DS's favorite). He requests it every year. and he's 39!

Several years ago before they updated the boards if you said something silly or funny, the tag fairy would post it under your name.

My mom was known for her spoon fudge. After she made it we would all sit around and eat it out of the pan with a spoon. Saturday I saw one of the cooks on the food network make it.
