Tips:

  • To ensure the praline topping sets properly, make sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the praline topping. This will help prevent it from overcooking or undercooking.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the consistency of the praline topping by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful when handling the hot praline topping. It can easily burn your skin.
  • Once the praline topping has set, break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder in the fudge base.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the fudge base for extra flavor.
  • For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or candy pieces to the fudge base before pouring it into the pan.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it into squares. This will help prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
