Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product. Use real butter, heavy cream, and good-quality chocolate.

  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • Get creative with your flavors. You can add different extracts, nuts, or candy to create different flavor combinations.
