Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final product. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the fudge: The fudge should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook it, it will become grainy and dry.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature: The fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks.
- To make the fudge even more decadent, you can add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows.
