Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect fudge consistency, use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, around 234°F (112°C). If you prefer a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the chocolate chips with dark chocolate. For nut allergies, you can leave out the nuts or replace them with seeds like sunflower seeds for added crunch.

Storage & Reheating
Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting it into squares. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to three weeks. If you want to reheat it, microwave small pieces in short intervals until just warmed, being careful not to melt it completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened condensed milk instead of regular?
Using sweetened condensed milk will alter the sweetness and texture of the fudge. It’s best to stick to regular condensed milk to achieve the right balance of sweetness and creaminess in the final product.
What type of chocolate chips should I use?
You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips for a classic fudge flavor, but feel free to experiment with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for a different taste. Just ensure they melt well into the mixture for a smooth consistency.
Can I make this fudge vegan?
To make a vegan version, substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative and use vegan chocolate chips. Additionally, ensure your marshmallow cream is vegan-friendly or consider using a homemade vegan marshmallow fluff as a substitute.
