8 in X 8 in pan of fudge
Author Notes
This is a family recipe that my mom made as a kid. When I was young, my mom would make it on Friday nights (only Fridays!) and she would recruit us to stir it. Standing still for at least fifteen minutes was a trial but it was always worth it in the end. Now, it is my go-to when I can craving chocolate. It is very easy and the ingredients are always on hand. —ginnygetsfloury
