Made this for my sister in laws dialysis friends. They loved it. Good texture and not hard to make. Even my husband loved it! (I didn't tell him it was made for his sister or he'd have turned his nose up at it)

Great easy recipe. Make sure it's good and cold before you cut it or it can be runny.

EASY recipe for a great tasting chocolate treat! Make sure to use nondairy creamer for the best texture (not milk or Rice Dream). Also, this fudge freezes well.
