- Spread evenly over the butterscotch layer.
- Chill until set.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure your butter is fully melted before adding the sugars. If you don't have walnuts, try substituting with pecans or leave them out entirely for a nut-free version. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. Remember to keep stirring constantly while the mixture boils to prevent it from burning.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares and serve as a delightful dessert or treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Noella'S Pancake for a sweet brunch spread that will impress guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it where it can last for up to two weeks. To reheat, simply place a piece in the microwave for a few seconds to soften, but avoid overheating to maintain its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for this fudge?
Absolutely! You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate morsels with milk chocolate for a sweeter fudge or dark chocolate for a richer flavor. Just ensure that the chocolate you choose melts well to maintain the smooth consistency of the fudge.
What if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set, it may need more time to cool in the refrigerator. Additionally, ensure that you boiled the mixture long enough to reach the soft-ball stage (around 234°F or 112°C). If it remains too soft, you can reheat it gently and add a bit more sugar to help it firm up.
Can I make this fudge vegan?
To make a vegan version of this fudge, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free chocolate morsels. Additionally, ensure that the marshmallow creme is vegan-friendly, or consider using a homemade alternative made from aquafaba and sugar.
