Luscious Lemon Fudge

I came across this recipe right before Christmas last year. It was such a hit with my family that I am requested to make it for every holiday, major and minor! I thought I'd share it here! Beware though, once you put one mouthwatering piece in your mouth, willpower flies right out the window! You have been forewarned!
