Notes
If you're concerned about the raw flour, you may spread it on a baking sheet and bake it in at 300 degrees for 10 minutes or until it reaches 160 degrees. Let cool before using.
You'll notice the recipe calls for 4-5 cups of powdered sugar. 4 cups of powdered sugar will yield a less sweet fudge that is very soft and needs to be served cold. 5 cups of powdered sugar will result in a sweeter fudge that is more firm and can hold it's shape better out of the fridge.
