Notes
Updated for fall 2022: I have used Costco's organic sugar for years to make this fudge. But in fall of 2022, they changed the formula or something and the sugar will no longer dissolve completely in this recipe.
Therefore, I can no longer recommend using Costco's organic sugar for this recipe.
Store fudge covered at room temperature for up to three weeks.
