Tips & Substitutions

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the fudge, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds if you want to soften it slightly before enjoying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark chocolate for a richer flavor. Just be mindful that it may alter the sweetness of the fudge, so adjust the amount of powdered sugar accordingly if you prefer a sweeter treat.
What can I do if my fudge is too soft?
If your fudge turns out too soft, try refrigerating it for a bit longer to firm it up. Alternatively, you can mix in more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
