Mix all ingredients until well blended, reserving half package of corned beef to cover the outside. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
I don't remember when my mom starting making fudge during the holidays....I guess for as far back as I can remember. My favorite part was (and is) licking the spoon and pan after the fudge was poured into the baking dish to cool. My mom always made a batch...or two of chocolate fudge and peanut butter fudge. The peanut butter is my favorite! Since being married and living far away from my parents, I too make fudge every year around the holidays. I remember my mom "hiding" the fudge in large ice cream containers in the garage to keep my dad (and probably us girls) out of it until she needed it for some work function or family affair. I haven't had to start hiding the fudge yet, but it probably doesn't last as long around here as it did at my parents. I always thought the recipe was some BIG secret, until my mom clued me in after I was married and called for the recipe. I'm sure this same exact fudge is enjoyed by many throughout the holidays as you can find the recipe on the side of a marshmallow creme jar....FANTASY Fudge (and it's true to it's name)!
