In my Christmas Candy making, I gave up on fudge when I discovered
ganache. A ganache is basically chocolate and cream. Much richer than
fudge, which in candymaking is not necessarily a bad thing.

I'd not trust any Carnation fudge kits. Stick with the real thing, and
hope you find a good working recipe.
