I have made this recipe for years. The only difference is my recipe calls for a 4 oz plain chocolate bar… I don’t like storing it in the fridge. Can the eggs be omitted? Or should I leave out the extra chocolate? Mine is always sift when set out to serve.
Thank you for the reply and ideas

I have only made it this way as written for years, and it always is a hit.

Too many calories n carbs any less or substitutes?
That’s what a great candy/dessert usually is unfortunately Josie!
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. 🙂
