Fudge

I love fudge.  I hate making fudge.  I was anticipating melting chocolate, letting it reset and having very yummy chocolate.  But its considered candy.  You need a double boiler.  And a candy thermometer.  And the temperture and humidity have to be JUST right. After 4 attempts of making fudge (all of which is going to be cake icing some day soon) I gave up.  Im very sad to say this IS a shortcut recipe.  But thats alright, it uses Grandma's all natural ingredients, so it counts. : )
