With the current economy, and companies making their portions smaller all the time, could you specify how much is supposed to be in a “can of sweetened condensed milk”?

This was very simple and tasted good. I had a problem after they were done and cooled I covered in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator……all the peppermint melted and made a sticky mess! I haven’t figured that out, but I’m sure I did something wrong. I gave 4 stars because we also had my Mom’s delicious fudge and it definitely wasn’t as good. But, I will make it again, but I’ll be sure my Mom isn’t making her fudge too!

Yummy and so easy, feel like you could use all sorts of different things as toppings but loved the peppermint candies.
Bryan Parker
Definitely quick and easy like the title! The fudge tastes like I spent hours on it

Made this in the microwave. Was worried it wouldn’t set. It ended up setting up just right. Weird thing is, it’s really hard. Not so much like what you would think fudge should be but more just like a hard peice of chocolate. Sure looks pretty though.

Super easy recipe! Set up with no problem. Yummy.
Jeffrey Golden
I followed the directions and like several others the fudge did not set up, it was like thick pudding. Very disappointed

I make this recipe alot, especially at Christmas. My husband takes it to work and they love it. And it so easy. Thank you and Merry Christmas

I made 4 batches! One with peppermint, one with walnuts, and two substituting 1 cup peanut butter instead of chips! So easy! I do like some of the other suggestions as far as milk chocolate and butter, and butterscotch! May try that next time!

Easy and fast, tastes great. I used nuts instead of peppermint.
