  1. This is a great recipe! My first time making them. I cut back the powdered sugar to less than half a cup because it just seemed like so much sugar on top of the condensed milk. I know fudge is meant to be really sweet but these turned out amazing even with less sugar.

  2. Thanks Winnie! You will love it! You really will be all home-made on this fudge with the home-made condensed milk! YUM! Now my mouth is watering…It’s a vicious circle! Hope you like it! I always look forward to seeing your desserts, they always look delicious and classy! Happy Holidays! 😉

  3. Yep – my mouth is definitely watering now 🙂

    I happened to have homemade condensed milk in the freezer
