Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 32 servings (2 pounds)

Tips:

- **Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan:** This will help to prevent the fudge from burning. - **Stir the fudge constantly:** This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and the fudge from becoming grainy. - **Don't overcook the fudge:** The fudge is done when it reaches the soft-ball stage, or when a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that holds its shape. - **Let the fudge cool slightly before cutting it:** This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling. - **Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place:** The fudge will keep for up to two weeks.
