Notes

*The time the fudge will need to cook on the stove top will vary depending on your altitude. It took me about 10 minutes, but it can be less or more for you. Just make sure to stay constantly stirring to avoid burning, and turn off the heat when it is thick enough to coat the back of a spatula.

If you have a candy thermometer, the temperature needs to be between 230ºF and 238ºF.
