I decided to try a variation on the recipe my mom always used when I was growing up, with Hershey's cocoa (instead of the baking chocolate I've been using in Good Eats recipe I tried the last few times). But it turned out the only cocoa we had was "special dark." I thought, well, cocoa is cocoa, it's not like it's sweetened anyway. But this really is dark. As I was beating it, all I could think was "ewww, prehistoric animals could drown in this stuff."
It actually came out pretty good. Every batch I make is getting progressively creamier and less grainy. But this would definitely be a specialty fudge; people just aren't looking for such a dark flavor in a fudge. At least I'm not. But it's interesting, because it's creamy and not bitter like regular dark chocolate candy bars are.
End of random ramblings.

Now, now. You mustn't bring goodies to class if there aren't enough to share.
