In order for fudge to be " fudgey", the sugar, butter and milk need to be boiled together for at least 12 minutes, then the "chocolate" or "cocoa' are added once this mixture is taken off the stove. Believe me, this is what fudge should taste like!

The instructions were not clear as far as the thickness of the chocolate mixture when "melted" - mine was like playdough, not liquid "hot fudge". I heated it in a double boiler over simmering (not boiling) water for over 45 minutes and it was still very thick, like play-doh. At that point the fat had started to separate out too. After chilling it had little puddles of grease at the bottom. I'm disappointed I wasted the ingredients (Callebaut chocolate and Penzey's vanilla). I don't know if something went wrong or if it is not supposed to be like the fudge you get at a fudge shop (melt in your mouth creamy). Can you think of what went wrong?

I made it twice and both times it got so chunky that I couldn't do anything with it! Definitely won't waste money on this again. Sorry, but this is a no-go for me.

That's how I've been doing it since I learned when I was a kid, I've never used sweetened condensed milk, chocolate bars, marshmallows or marshmallow fluff in my fudge, it's just not the same as from scratch! Can't wait to see when you try it from scratch, hope it goes well. The “honest-to-goodness-from-scratch” fudge is so good and not as hard as many people think, once you know how to do it.
