I made this recipe up as a whim, to try something different with fudge. I’ve never had any fudge like this; it is everything that a fudge should be: very sweet, creamy, crunchy, and slightly tart.
Cut it into 8x8 for sixty-four 1-inch squares. Cut down the center, then down the center of each side, and then down the center of each of those again, to get eight partitions.
