FUDGE--A CHRISTMAS TRADITION

When I was growing up, Mom would start making all kinds of candy in Mid-December. She would make Divinity, penuche , butterscotch rolls and fudge. Dad would make fruit bread, like fruit cake, but lighter and baked in empty coffee cans.
Over the years everything but the fudge has fallen by the wayside.

This is all you need for a great batch of fudge, some times I add mint or Peanut Butter chips.
It became a tradition over the years to take a plate of fudge to work the week before Christmas.
This year will be no exception. I have made 2 batches with 1 or maybe 2 to go.
