VARIATIONS: For chocolate fudge, stir 4 tbsp cocoa into sugar before
adding milk. For peanut butter flavor, substitute 3 tbsp peanut
butter for the butter. Use chopped or diced dates, if desired, or
coconut instead of fruits and nuts. Wrap in foil to store. This is
an excellent fudge which keeps well.
