Notes
Storage :
- Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Make ahead: This fudge is perfect to prepare a few days before serving or gifting, it stays fresh and firm.
- Freeze: Wrap the block tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before slicing.
- Reheat: Fudge doesn’t need reheating, but if it’s too firm from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Always use sweetened condensed milk, no substitutes.
- Freeze marshmallows before mixing so they don’t melt too much.
- Cold butter helps the chocolate melt evenly.
- Line the dish with foil for easy removal.
- For clean slices, warm your knife under hot water, wipe dry, and cut.
For a caramel twist, drizzle caramel on top before chilling, like our Turtle Fudge
