Most Perfect Fudge (12/4/14)

By zircon50

Tips Rules:
- Prepare all ingredients in advance and scoop out marshmallow creme onto buttered plate in advance.
- Never attempt to make this alone.
- Don't be a cheapo. Buy the good stuff only: Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme.
- Gritty fudge is due to either under cooking the sugar, overcooking the sugar, or not using a stabilizing ingredient such as corn syrup or--in this recipe's case--marshmallow creme!
