This is the classic "no-fail" fudge recipe that has been around since, well at least as far back as the '60's, maybe longer. This fudge has the classic satiny smooth texture that you can only get with marshmallow creme or marshmallows. The recipe suggests using Land O Lakes butter. I would have to agree, the quality and water content of the butter used can make a difference in your finished product. Land O Lakes has a lower water content than many other butters on the market. There are other good quality brands that are good for baking and candy making. Challenge butter is very good also. Enough about butter, let the candy making begin.
