Notes
1. Fudge is a labor of love. The stirring and beating will definitely help your arm muscles.2. My aunt told me the fudge is ready when you stir it and can see the sugar crystallizing at the bottom.3. If the fudge begins to burn but it is still not up to temp, reduce the heat.4. Once the fudge gets to soft ball stage you may pour it into a stand mixer and beat on speed 2 for 5 minutes.
