Nigella's Fudge

I made this recipe back around Christmas week and my family really enjoyed it.  I like to dress things up.  It's just my way.  The first time I added honey roasted peanuts, marichino cherries and marshmallows because that was what I had in the apartment at the time.  I can't remember which chocolate I used that day, but it wasn't bittersweet.  I have a sweet-tooth, and that wouldn't have been in the here.  Here is Nigella's recipe: Pistachio Fudge. 

Today I used the cherries again, toasted-unsalted almonds that were real cheap at the supermarket for snaking, and I cut up large marshmallows.  It looks more homemade that way.  I put the fudge into two bread loaves so I can take one to work tomorrow.  Kind of Rocky Road?  I didn't put in too many of the extras and I'll cut the pieces up pretty small because it is so rich.  I did use a milk chocolate this time.  Maybe next time I'll try a darker chocolate and see which tastes better. So much for a SUGAR FREE DAY today.

I can say this, there cannot be a simpler recipe for FUDGE.

What an amazing recipe ... too bad Lent just started. But Easter is around the corner and this will be one of the first things I make. Thanks for the recipe (I love Nigella's recipes).
