I love that this recipe creates a smoother type fudge, not that grainy stuff that I keep encountering at the bakeries and confectionaries around here.

I mean, grainy can be good, but I like my chocolate to be smooth as silk, even when it comes to fudge. 3 minute fudge accomplishes that feat. I heart it so. Enough is enough. Let’s get to work!
