Report and Comments:
Everything went great! It went very smoothly. There are some things I did differently in this recipe. I prefer pecans over almonds so I used pecans instead. I also didn't have a candy thermometer so after it came to a boil, I put the timer on for 10 minutes and it still turned out great. My brother loved the fudge so much that he brought some to college. I shared some with my friends too, they all thought it was delicious. My family and friends thought it was great!
