Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To make the fudge extra creamy, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • To prevent the fudge from crystallizing, stir it constantly while it is cooling.
  • For a smooth and glossy finish, cut the fudge into squares with a sharp knife.
