Results are in! The fudge recipe from December’s Fine Cooking is a winner! I had a few issues which arose from trying to halve the recipe, but once I got the adjusted half-batch boiling times and temps right, I had the perfect fudge. The texture was creamy, but had the flakiness you’d expect from …
