Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a sugar substitute in this recipe?
While traditional sugar is essential for achieving the right fudge texture, you can experiment with sugar substitutes designed for baking. Keep in mind that the results may vary, and you might need to adjust other ingredients to maintain the right consistency.
What can I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set, it may not have reached the correct temperature during cooking. You can reheat the mixture gently, ensuring to bring it back to the soft ball stage before pouring it into the pan again. Adding a bit more sugar may also help thicken it.
Is there a vegan alternative for this fudge?
To make a vegan version, substitute the oleo with a plant-based butter and use coconut milk instead of regular milk. Ensure your peanut butter is also free from animal products. The fudge will still be delicious and rich without compromising on flavor.
