• NOTE: If you are in doubt about when to stop stirring and start spooning, go ahead and stop. Better to have a couple of pieces of soft, sticky fudge than a whole pot full of crumbly fudge!
• I've never timed this, so the prep time is a guess. It's pretty quick, though! I'm also guessing on the yield.
