Substitutions: Any chocolate candy bar that you LOVE is acceptable; however, if you have an affinity for a small candy bar such as Heath Bars or Snickers, be sure to use the equivalent of 14 ounces. Any remaining ounces are to be immediately consumed so as not to have pesky leftovers. Also... be sure to have more than 32 marshmallows on hand; they tend to mysteriously disappear between one's lips while in the midst of cooking. I don't know why this phenomenon occurs, but trust me, it does.
Commentary: Fudge is one of those confections that make my mouth water just thinking about it. Oh wait! That's how I feel about food in general... hmm. This is rich beyond description and could probably be labeled "death by chocolate." Even I, chocolate lover of the century, can only nibble on this in small quantities. However... if you grate slivers of this wondrous delight and drop it into your fresh hot cup of coffee... swoon! This is definitely a dessert to share with your best friend, the lady who just had a baby and could use a sweet treat, the butcher who always saves the best cuts of meat for you, and the postal person who always smiles when he delivers the mail. If your spouse has been especially tolerant of the month's credit card bill and was wise enough not to ask why you bought 4 MORE pair of shoes when you only have 2 feet... give him a bite. By all means, share this recipe with anyone who asks. Of course, there is a condition for sharing: the recipient MUST make a batch for YOU.
