Burnt Sugar Fudge

---

Where i got this recipe i really couldn't say. I know i've had it in my collection for at least 30 years, and remember making it at least once. Since i seem to flub candy the past few years i'm not sure if i could make it now. Some of you candy makers need to try it and review it.
