This is a smooth rich chocolate fudge that my grandmother had in an old cookbook.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

No thermometer is needed to make Grandma's famous fudge recipe. It's an old-fashioned recipe that's fairly easy to make. Each piece of fudge is rich and creamy. We opted to add chopped pecans and loved the crunch and nuttiness they added. But, this decadent fudge is just as delicious and nut-free. Make this fudge for holiday hostess gifts, and add it to your Christmas cookie tray.
