    This recipe is pretty complicated, judging from the other comments. I think I might have added my butter, chocolate and corn syrup too late, because I ended up with something closer to taffy than fudge. It still tastes good, but I don't want to give this as a gift.

    If you don't have a candy thermometer, use the cold water ball test. Put 1/2 cup cold tap water into a cup. Fudge will appear thick

    A cold water bath can be set up in a pot larger than the pot in which the fudge is being cooked in. Place ice cubes and water into the larger pan and set the pot of fudge into the ice water, taking care to keep the water out of the fudge. What this does is to bring the temperature of the fudge down quickly. As the fudge cools, it begins to thicken. You'll want to watch the sheen of the fudge. When it begins to diminish, it's time to pour it out, else it will set up in your pot!

    (contd) And in step 4, heat the walnuts a bit in the microwave and stir them in about 90sec after you start "briskly stirring" the fudge. As soon as it begins to lose it's sheen, transfer into the pan, otherwise it will solidfy and crumble. Took me 2 attempts to get this right! It does taste delicious, though!

    Hi. For first time fudge makers please take a look at this link: http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/candy/recipe-fudge.html# It explains the whys and how's of making fudge...which Martha's recipe doesn't. I followed Martha's recipe but also kept in mind what the link said. So far, it tastes delicious! Also in stp 3 of Martha's recipe the mixture will begin to boil until it eventually hits 236 degrees. This can take a while!
