Fricke's Famous Fudge		    

This recipe makes a soft fudge that is pretty sweet and rich. The recipe calls for a buttered 8x8 baking pan, but I use plastic wrap and line the pan with it. It makes it easier to turn it out for cutting. I cover it with plastic wrap to let it cool and when it is still a little bit pliable I turn it out and peel off the plastic and cut it. The nuts are optional.
