Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. If you want a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream. To avoid burning, stir the mixture frequently while cooking. If you prefer a thicker fudge, extend the cooking time by a minute or two. This fudge can also be used as a topping for other desserts, like brownies or Leona'S Ice Cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute cocoa powder with dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile. Just ensure you adjust the sugar accordingly, as chocolate can be sweeter than cocoa powder. Melt the chocolate with the milk before adding the other ingredients for the best results.
How can I make this fudge without dairy?
To make a dairy-free version, replace the milk with a plant-based alternative, such as almond milk or coconut milk. Use vegan butter instead of regular butter. This will maintain the consistency while catering to dairy-free diets without sacrificing flavor.
Is it possible to add nuts or other mix-ins?
Absolutely! You can fold in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans once the fudge has cooled slightly. Other mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit can also be added for an extra texture and flavor. Just be mindful not to add too many, as it may affect the fudge's consistency.
