my gram's 5 lb fudge
(2 RATINGS)
My grandma has made this year after year and I was lucky enough to get this recipe from her. It is quite rich. I like to add all walnuts to it but pecans would be great too. Someone once mentioned adding cranberries which I think would be good too. Hope you like it. It is a great do ahead recipe.
