I am going to make this fudge for my daughter, who is allergic to dairy and peanuts. I can easily use a substitute for the butter. But are the eggs a concern? IT would seem that they would not be cooked through. Are the melted ingredients warm enough to “cook” the eggs in the mixture? My husband’s grandmother gave me this recipe as well, but I had never made it due to my concern about the eggs. Her recipe indicates the fudge should be refrigerated when not serving. Any input you have would be appreciated.
I personally have never had an issue with the eggs Ginger. I highly recommend this and yes, refrigerate when not serving. Enjoy!
I always buy eggs in the little carton that say they are pasteurized when I make this fudge. Happy Holidays..

Great, thanks for the tip Sheri.
PS – You really must try it with the mint chocolate chips or peanut butter chips. Woah! Our favorite could be (too hard to nail down for sure though) the peanut butter and chocolate fudge layered and then slightly swirled together.
Now that sounds wonderful. I love the peanut butter chocolate combo Sheri. 🙂
