INCREDIBLE!!! SCRUMPTIOUS!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Although a little tedious (melting the chocolate completely with the hot mixture) but soooooo worth it! I have also used this recipe to make Cookies n' Cream fudge, using 2 c. white chocolate chips and crushed up oreo cookies. I have also made Rocky Road fudge, using all milk chocolate chips, 2 c. , and adding nuts and mini marshmallows right before pouring the mixture into the pan. SOOOOOO delicious!!! The next time I make this recipe, I am going to make it all peanut butter and I think I will add real peanut butter to give it a very flavorful peanutty taste. I found that the peanut butter taste in the double decker fudge was overpowered by the chocolate. Peanut butter lovers in my family wanted more peanut butter!! Overall, GREAT recipe! A definite keeper! This fudge, nicely packaged would make great gifts during the holidays!

5 Stars! EASY TO MAKE. This was my first attempt at making fudge, and it was easier than expected. DELICIOUS. Everyone raved about them, even people who normally didn't like peanut butter. INGREDIENTS AND TIMING ARE PERFECT. I wouldn't suggest changing a thing. LONGEVITY/FRESHNESS. The fudge stayed fresh for quite awhile in the cookie tins they were in. SMALL IN SIZE. I would cut them a little larger, therefore getting a little less than 60 "servings". The "servings" seemed small to me. OVERALL, an excellent recipe that I will be making and sharing every Christmas, for years to come!
