DAIRY STATE FUDGE

Dairy State Fudge image

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, so it's only natural I have a lot of recipes that use dairy ingredients. Our farm also had a lot of hickory trees, so we always made this fudge with hickory nuts. I make this candy nearly every Christmas. You'll find it's hard to eat just one piece.

Add some interest to your candy and cookie trays with a white fudge. For best results, don't use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese. Many years ago as a young girl I would go through recipe books and look at all the pretty pictures and imagine cooking that particular item. I found this one in a very old cookbook that I had. And after viewing the picture I decided I just had to try this.
