Fudge

The other night I decided to make fudge. I found a relatively easy recipe on Big Oven and got down to work. My work was quickly interrupted when I realized I only had a bout a 1/2 cup of "regular" (as opposed to white) chocolate in the pantry. That's insane. I always have ridiculous amounts of baking squares, chips, and chunks on hand. I guess I used them all in my holiday baking extravaganza. So rather than making Chocolate Caramel Fudge, I made Triple Chocolate Caramel Fudge using Semisweet Chocolate Chips and Baking Squares, Milk Chocolate Hershey Kisses, and White Chocolate Chips. It turned out pretty good. I rate this recipe a 7, there's room for improvement.
