Notes

At 70 servings, this decadent fudge is perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Important: If you are only able to purchase a large (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk, be sure to use only 2/3 cup for each fudge layer so that the fudge will set.

If you don't have a candy thermometer, bring sugar mixture to full rolling boil on medium heat, then begin timing 4 minutes while mixture continues to boil, stirring constantly.
