I have made this fudge for more years than I care to remember! Won several blue ribbons at the county fair when I lived in California with it. You will love this fudge for sure!

    For variation in this recipe, replace vanilla with 2 tsp maple flavoring for maple fudge. You can also replace the nuts with 1/2 cup chopped and drained maraschino cherries and than you have Oprah fudge.
