    I made this for Christmas. I used regular salted butter and it was just amazing!

    Your recipe sounds fantastic and I can’t wait to try it for my next craft show. Will it still work with using salted butter instead of unsalted? Thank you.

    I made this for my dad this past holiday season and he loved it! He’s a total fudge snob and he thought it was great! Everyone that tried it thought it was amazing and couldn’t stop eating it. I think next time of make it I will put chopped toasted walnuts on the bottom just to try that out.

    I just want to confirm that the corn syrup amount is correct. Seems like an odd amount… =)

    Looks like a great recipe. In the olden days (1970s and farther back) we called it Penuche (pen-OOH-chee) and sometimes added walnuts. Some way-out-there types added crushed candy cane or ground up black licorice to flavor it.

    Sounds wonderful and like it would be well received by my son, who just left for deployment in the Middle East! Two questions:
    1. Do you think this will travel well if mailed? Any tips on shipping?
    2. I don’t have a candy thermometer, so does “soft ball stage” literally mean that the mixture will be soft and ball-like? (Yes, I realize that might be a kind of silly question, but I have to ask! Lol)

    Thanks!

      I think it would be okay if you had it in a sealed air-tight container. As for the candy temperature…candy making can be tricky without that thermometer. You should be able to find one at Walmart for around $2. If not then here is how you tell if it’s at the soft ball stage:

      This stage can be determined by dropping a spoonful of hot syrup into a bowl of very cold water. In the water, use your fingers to gather the cooled syrup into a ball. If it has reached soft-ball stage, the syrup easily forms a ball while in the cold water, but flattens once removed from the water.

      Usually this takes at least 5-10 minutes on medium at least to get to this stage once boiling. Good luck!

    Looks good! Is it only me, but when I try and print off the recipe all the steps are missing after you get to the soft ball stage?
