I have so many great childhood memories enjoying Papa’s fudge! We loved it when we would go to visit, and he would make a batch for us! He found out early on that we all wanted to scrape the pot and savor every lick on the spoon he used. So, what did he do? He “used” as many spoons as there were kids there to enjoy! And we all got to scrape the pot on the merry-go-round out in the school yard! (And he hated it when a batch would not turn out right and would be soft, but we loved it! We got to have it in dixie cups! Oh. So. Good.)
And just one more insight into Papa’s fudge. It became a generational treat. My father made it for us many times and my brother Paul made it for us almost every time he would come to visit. He had the recipe memorized.

Wonderful, sweet memories.
