Notes
If you want it to set up faster, place it in the refrigerator (Make sure you have a thick oven mitt or something underneath to keep it from cracking your fridge shelf, as it will be hot).
If you don't have a candy thermometer you can time the fudge. Once the fudge mixture reaches a rolling boil (a rolling boil has large bubbles and doesn't stop boiling when you stir it), start the timer for four minutes. Remove it from the heat when it reaches four minutes.
