FUDGE

I decided to post my favorite fudge recipe because I can never find it when I need it (which is frequently).  I originally saw it on this blog and have used it for the past few years.  Did I mention that I love chocolate?  This fudge is delish and I have to fight the kids to get my fair share.  Clare made the batch in the picture below and my one and only beef was that she didn't lick the bowl when she was finished! What good, law-abiding chocolate-lover doesn't relish every last taste?  To quote Pooh Bear, "I wasn't going to eat it.  I was only going to Taste it!"
