Note

This recipe yields approximately 5 pounds of fudge.

For best texture, cut the fudge while it is still slightly soft; if it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.

You can substitute butter for margarine for a richer flavor, or use different types of nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds.
