I used this recipe while running a small cafe and it was the biggest hit with my customers. I could make a triple batch and sell out within minutes. A fellow chef now uses this recipe in the catering department of a large hotel and it is one of her most requested items.

Is this a smooth melt-in-your-mouth fudge candy? No. But I do like how the cream cheese adds a zing to the flavor and this is super quick and easy to make. It reminded me of cream cheese frosting. I would make this again for something different.

This was a super easy recipe. I thought it was very tasty and will make it again.I used unsweetened chocolate and it is plenty sweet,so I would not suggest using any other chocolate.

I added the marshmallows also. I thought it was really good! My husband thought it was too sweet so I think next time I will try using Baker's bittersweet or unsweet chocolate to see if he will like that better.

I added the marshmallows and used fat free cream cheese. It was enjoyed by everyone at my work. By the end of the day, they were fighting over the last pieces.

I am not a baker and every fundge recipe I have tried has flopped. This one was fast, easy, and would satisfy any sweet tooth. The texture was a little soft but it still had good flavor.

This was very easy and good. However, mine was really soft and I didn't like that.

this was very difficult to mix and didn't taste good either. Not worth it!

My mother first made this recipe back in the early 50s from a newspaper ad. We both loved it. Unfortunately when she died I did not find the recipe in with her others that were saved. I was elated when I found it online earlier this year. It is wonderful and I am making it for Christmas gifts for a couple of very special medical providers.

I love this fudge recipe. It is very versitile and pretty darn easy as fudge goes. I do like it better with semi-sweet chocolate though.
