"My uncle loved to make sweets, and he made this fudge recipe that is one of the most "OUT OF THIS WORLD" fudges I have ever tasted! I have never seen a recipe like this, and you probably haven't either. You simply have to try it to see what I mean :) I used to make special trips over to have a piece when I knew he was making it. The texture is like penuche or maple fudge, but the flavor is like a caramel, and loaded with nuts to give it a nice crunch. Of course you can leave out the nuts, but us nut lovers wouldn't think of doing that! Great for the holidays on your cookie and sweets trays for family, friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers etc."
