Sweets and a Treat

As if you aren't sick of candy here's a fudge recipe I tried out. I've never been able to make a good batch of fudge. I don't know what my problem is, but it never sets up. This is the best attempt at it I've ever had. It held together nicely, but I think I rushed it out of the fridge to take a picture and taste test. :P I hate waiting I'm so bad at it. I'm starting to try out some recipes to see what I want to bake this year as part of gifts. My husband is a huge fan of fudge and he said this one was really rich, but also tasted really good.

Cappuccino Pecan Fudge

1(14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces semisweet baking chocolate

1 tablespoon instant coffee powder

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Grease an 8 inch pan. In a saucepan heat milk over low heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted; remove from heat. Place instant coffee in a small bow and mix in 3 to 4 tablespoons of chocolate mixture, stirring until coffee is dissolved. Add coffee and powdered sugar to melted chocolate. Stir until smooth then add in pecans. Pour into prepared pan; cool.
