Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, melt the chocolate chips slowly over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

For a fun twist, try adding a dash of peppermint extract for a seasonal holiday treat. This fudge is also perfect for gift-giving!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips depending on your personal preference. Mixing different types can create a unique flavor profile. Just keep the measurements the same to ensure the consistency of the fudge remains perfect.
Is it possible to make this fudge vegan?

How do I know when the fudge is set?
