DAD'S OLD FASHIONED FUDGE
Dad's Old Fashioned Fudge recipe has been in my family since about 1975 and is an absolute must-make every Christmas and Easter. With just 5 ingredients, it turns out rich, creamy and a complete crowd pleaser! We served this homemade fudge at my Dad's funeral reception and the plate was wiped clean in minutes.
