In your December 2011 Guideposts there is a recipe for Aunty Ann's Million Dollar Fudge.
I am unable to locate 3 (4) oz bars German sweet cooking chocolate. Is there a sus=bstitute for this German Sweet Cooking Chocolate? What is the brand name of this item? I am able to purchase Nestles semi sweet or unsweet chocolate but not German sweet. I am interested in making this recipe but can not find the ingredients. I have been to 4 stores in my area of Northeast Ohio and no one has heard of it. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. LaVerne Misconin
