    I’m not the best baker/dessert maker in the world, so when I needed a dessert to take to a Christmas party, I searched for something easy.

    This recipe hit the mark! It was SO easy to make and turned out so delicious! I came home with an empty pan.

    I opted for peanuts instead of almonds or walnuts. I used a 9×13 inch pan and while it was a little difficult to spread, I succeeded and it turned out perfect.

    Thank you for this easy and yummy dessert recipe!!

    This is the best recipe for fudge I have ever used. Very easy, quick, and delicious. This will be my go to for fudge from now on.

  3. I actually need to ask a question! I was asked to make this as a gift. Does it has to be stored in fridge or can it store on counter?

    Just made this it’s good but definitely use an 8×8 when in a 9×13 it’s way too thin.and hard to spread it in the 9×13

  5. Just found you site and must say I’m so impressed.  I saved several recipes and I love that you
    that you included crafts and other interests.  Well done! Evie

    This was always my sweet Mother’s favorite.  I can remember going downtorm St. Louis with her and she would get a pound.  Great memories from long ago.  I am unsure if it was from Famous-Barr or Styx Baer and Fuller.
