- Lift the foil by the ends onto a cutting board.
- Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, consider using a combination of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the walnuts or substitute with dried fruit for added texture. Ensure to stir continuously while melting the chocolates to prevent burning. Always use fresh sweetened condensed milk for the best results.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve as a delightful dessert after a meal or as a sweet treat for gatherings. It pairs beautifully with coffee or tea and can be presented on a platter alongside Jo'S Basic Sugar Cookies for a varied dessert spread. Consider drizzling with melted chocolate for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store the fudge in an airtight container, layered with waxed paper to prevent sticking. It can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerated for longer freshness. If you prefer to freeze it, wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, where it can last for up to three months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of chocolate for this recipe?
Absolutely! While the recipe calls for milk chocolate, bittersweet, and white chocolate, you can experiment with dark chocolate or flavored chocolates like caramel or mint. Just remember that the sweetness level may vary, so adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
How do I know when the fudge is set?
The fudge is set when it feels firm to the touch and holds its shape after being removed from the refrigerator. It typically takes about 8 hours to chill completely, but you can check after a few hours. If it's still soft, simply return it to the fridge for additional time.
Can I add other mix-ins to this fudge?
Yes, you can customize your fudge by adding mix-ins like dried fruits, crushed cookies, or even pretzels for a salty-sweet combination. Just be mindful not to overload the mixture, which could affect its texture. A handful of your favorite additions should work well!
