Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. If you prefer a nuttier flavor, consider substituting the Diamond walnuts with pecans. If you like a richer chocolate taste, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa. Keep an eye on the candy thermometer, as microwave wattages can vary, affecting cooking time.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into squares and serve as a delightful treat at gatherings or alongside coffee for a sweet snack. It pairs beautifully with Coopers Famous Pound Cake for an indulgent dessert platter. For a fun twist, try drizzling melted white chocolate over the squares for added flair.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it; just make sure to let it come to room temperature before serving again. If the fudge hardens too much, you can gently warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder?
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate for cocoa powder in this recipe. Use about 4 ounces of dark chocolate, melted, in place of the cocoa powder. Just be mindful that this may alter the texture slightly, so adjust the butter or milk accordingly.
What can I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set, it may not have reached the proper temperature. You can reheat it gently and bring it back to 234°F, then beat it again. If it still doesn't set, try adding a bit more powdered sugar to help it firm up.
Can I make this fudge without nuts?
Absolutely! You can omit the walnuts entirely for a nut-free version. Alternatively, you could substitute with dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for added texture and flavor, making it a great option for those with nut allergies.
