I love cookbooks and this one sounds very interesting. I have never made fudge before, but this doesn't sounds too difficult.
This sounds so good I will stop on over and have some Million Dollar Fudge with a nice tall cold glass of milk, non fat of course!
Oh man, this is a great recipe and adding the pecans instead of walnuts tastes way better! But really it's up to the person, I've heard of people using peanuts, yuk! Some times I put a little less sugar so they're not as rich and then I slice it up and let it sit in a glass dome for a few days to let it harden just a little bit, when it's fresh made it's way too soft for me. But once again, perfect recipe!
