Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your fudge will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and good-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: Fudge is done when it reaches the soft-ball stage, which is 234-238°F (112-114°C). If you overcook it, it will become hard and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help prevent the fudge from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: Fudge can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to a month.
  • To make peppermint swirl fudge, simply add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the white chocolate layer: You can also add a few drops of red food coloring to make the peppermint layer pink.
