For Plain Fudge, simply omit the nuts in the above recipe.
[1] 1⅛ cups equal 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons.
[2] Pecans, walnuts, hazel nuts, cashews, etc. also can be used.
Note: Drop a tiny bit of the hot mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it stays together in a soft ball and does not fall apart when you lift it out of the water with your fingers, then the Fudge has cooked long enough. Be sure to take candy off the heat while testing. Do not use ice cold water.
