VARIATIONS
Nuts/Fruit - You can have a lot of fun with this recipe! After the chocolate is melted, before you spread it in the pan, you may want to add something like nuts (Georgia pecans are especially nice) or maraschino cherries. Just make very sure the cherries are cut in half, well drained, and then blotted completely dry with paper towels. Otherwise the cherries will make it too moist, and you'll have to eat it with a spoon. (I assure you that this, too, can be done if push comes to shove.) Granny loves her cherry fudge.
Peanut Butter - Spread half of the melted chocolate into the pan. Quickly sprinkle on a layer of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips. Mash the chips down into the chocolate just a little with the backs of your fingers. Now gently but quickly spread on the other half of the chocolate. When you cut it, the peanut butter makes a pretty—and tasty—layer in the middle. Try doing the same with Andes’ mint baking chips for an after-dinner-mint version.
