Burnt Sugar Fudge image

Where I got this recipe I really couldn't say. I know I've had it in my collection for at least 30 years, and remember making it at least once. Since I seem to flub candy the past few years I'm not sure if I could make it now. Some of you candy makers need to try it and review it.
