Notes

Adding nuts, just for fun
Cadbury Eggs, for Easter

*Adjustments have been made to the original coconut topping recipe. If you are looking for the previous measurements, it's 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups of shredded coconut. The new amounts do better at covering the whole fudge layer.
