I all but gave up on making delicious fudge. Since we moved to a different state/altitude, every 'cook' fudge recipe I used to make no longer works. This recipe is great tasing and very easy. Wonderful, colorful accent and change! But - the fudge was so delic, it almost didn't make it to the baskets! Will definitely make for other holidays.

This is a delicious, and colorful delight to the senses; also, the simplicity makes it one of my favorites. It adds a rainbow of color and smooth fruity texture to compliment any meal. My family requests it regularly, and since it is so easy to prepare, I always comply.

Fudge

Marty Mitrano from Henderson, NV

What a fabulous idea for every holiday. This fudge is foolproof and very easy. It disappears very quickly. I don't put nuts in it for my son because he doesn't like them so I put coconut, cherries or even jelly belly jelly beans! You can make any "flavor" you want. Gone is a flash!

Fantastic Toll House Easter Basket Fudge

Carolyn Frick from ORLANDO, FL

This recipe is "Fantastic"! It is easy to prepare, does not take time and it always turns our perfect. I have a problem with fudge recipes being too soft or to hard. This recipe turns out perfect every time. Most importantly, the grandchildren love the taste and the look (so do all of the adults)! This recipe is a winner!

Love This

Heidi Buter from MUSKEGON, MI

When my grandmother went into a nursing home she gave me a cookbook from Tollhouse. We mad a lot of recipes from this book. When I received this book I found this recipe and I love it. I never made it with the jelly beans, but I make it for holiday gifts. One day my boyfriend asked for butterscotch fudge. So before I saw the recipe that it posted, I just substitued. My daughter loves peanut butter fudge, so once again I just substitued a package of peanut butter morsels. This recipe is not as sweet as some other fudge recipes. Everyone one will love this fudge.
so rich and good

cassandra leverton from BELLE FOURCHE, SD

Easter Basket Fudge

Pauline Johnsey from No. Stratford, NH

This is so easy and so good.I liked the idea of one of the readers to put the jelly beans in the fudge before it hardens.This makes it a real easter treat,and gives it some color. Keep this recipe handy for all occasions, just vary the toppings or add ins-like cherries, coconut, or other candy you have on hand.

Easter Fudge

Carole Bettenhausen from Baker, MT

We made these for Easter and we also made a batch of white chocolate. Instead of putting the jelly beans on top, we added them to the mixture before it set up. Yummy!
Easter treat

Merry Sears from ALABASTER, AL

My family got together on Saturday before Easter and this Fudge went over great. It does get soft easily, so keep in a cool place or refrigerate. I lined small plastic easter eggs with plastic wrap and filled both sides with fudge (no nuts for the kids)refigerated them and when they were nice and firm I pulled out the fudge by the plastic wrap mark each center part with a fork each way put a little water on one side then put together. The kids loved the fudge easter eggs. Use the smallest size eggs you can find or there wil be a melted mess before they finish it.
EASY!

Jennifer Leach from BELLVILLE, OH

I made this with my children, and it was SO easy and tasted great. It went fast at Easter lunch!
