Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

At 70 servings, this decadent fudge is perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Important Note

If you are only able to purchase a large (12-oz.) can of evaporated milk, be sure to use only 2/3 cup for each fudge layer so that the fudge will set.

Cooking Know-How

If you don't have a candy thermometer, bring sugar mixture to full rolling boil on medium heat, then begin timing 4 min. while mixture continues to boil, stirring constantly.

YUMMY! This was so easy to make and taste fantastic. I omitted the nuts and used a 12oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips instead and it was still great. This will become a holiday tradition for our family.

This recipe is outstanding! It was so easy to make and the taste was delicious. The different layers and peanut toppings made the fudge fun to look at. I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

Where did it go?!! My family loved that fudge and I could barely manage to steal a piece for myself. Very easy to make even with an impatient 6 year old helping.
