Fudge gets texture from potato: potatoes cooked in the microwave oven
give this fudge its unbelievably creamy, fudgey texture. The mellow
flavor comes from Irish Crem liqueur, used in both the fudge and the
icing. Use a pastry bag to pipe the icing or a spoon to drizzle it
onto the fudge. The added bonux is that this fudge is low in fat.
