This coffee fudge recipe is one that my son, Jackson, and I worked on together. After several efforts, we decided this version was a winner. It is smooth, creamy and has an irresistible crunch from pecans.

Even though I stirred every minute, my pecans got sadly scalded and I had to throw them away. I feel like the directions are reversed, and the nuts should be microwaved for a minute and the chocolate mixture should be microwaved for three minutes. At one minute, my chocolate chips weren't nearly melted enough to mix into the other ingredients.I only put in half of the cinnamon and I still thought it was a bit too dominant. Unless you are a REALLY big fan of cinnamon, don't put in a full teaspoon!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-12-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldCoffee"},"reviewBody":"I adjusted the cooking times for both the nuts and chocolate and continued cooking 30 seconds at a time and stirring until they were done.

In fact I had chocolate that started to burn, melted things that would have been so much faster and easier than constantly pulling it out of the microwave, stirring, putting it back in, etc., those processes actually took longer and the results weren't anywhere near as good!
