Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure your butter is at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or even white chocolate for a different flavor profile. If you don't have nuts on hand, consider adding a pinch of sea salt for added depth. Stirring frequently during microwaving helps prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve it on a decorative plate for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider drizzling melted chocolate or caramel on top before serving. This fudge also makes a wonderful gift when packaged in a decorative box.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, where it will last up to two weeks. To enjoy it again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing, as it will be firmer when cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk?
While sweetened condensed milk can be used, it will alter the sweetness and texture of the fudge. If you choose to use it, reduce the sugar in the recipe to balance the sweetness.
What can I use instead of marshmallow creme?
If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can make your own by whipping together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, and 1/4 cup of water. This will mimic the texture and sweetness of marshmallow creme in your fudge.
How do I know when the fudge is ready?
The fudge is ready when a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball. This process usually takes about 9-12 minutes in the microwave, so keep an eye on it and stir every few minutes to ensure even cooking.
