Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure that the mixture reaches a full boil and maintains it for the full 15 minutes. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or substitute with sunflower seeds. You can also experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or peppermint, to give your fudge a unique twist. For a fun variation, consider adding a layer of coffee flavor, like in a Coffee Klutch Sweet Treat.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. This fudge also makes for a perfect gift during the holidays when packaged in a decorative box. For a festive dessert platter, serve alongside Cranberry Crunch Bars and Didie'S Dirt Cake Delight for a variety of flavors and textures.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, where it can last up to two weeks. If you wish to enjoy it warm, simply microwave individual squares for about 10 seconds to soften them slightly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the evaporated milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can use heavy cream or whole milk as a substitute for evaporated milk. If you want to reduce calories, consider using unsweetened almond milk, but be aware that it may slightly alter the texture and richness of the fudge.
How do I know when the fudge is done cooking?
The fudge is ready when it has boiled for 15 minutes and thickened slightly. You can test its readiness by dropping a small amount into cold water; if it forms a soft ball, it’s done. Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent burning.
Can I add other mix-ins to the fudge?
Absolutely! Feel free to add dried fruits like cranberries or raisins, or even candies like M&M's for a fun twist. Just be sure to adjust the quantities of butterscotch and chocolate morsels accordingly to maintain the balance of flavors.
