Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

To ensure your fudge turns out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

  • Make-Ahead Option: This fudge can be made a day or two in advance, making it a great option for holiday baking or gatherings.
  • Slicing Trick: For clean cuts, use a warm knife! Dip your knife in hot water, wipe it off, and slice through the fudge for beautiful squares.
  • Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I doubt it will last that long, though!
