🍬 Tips for the Perfect Fudge
- Don’t skip the stirring – Constant stirring during boiling ensures the sugar doesn’t burn or crystallize.
- Swap the nuts – Not a fan of pecans? Use walnuts, almonds, or leave them out altogether.
- Add extras – You can mix in dried cranberries, coconut flakes, or a swirl of peanut butter for fun variations.
- Use quality chocolate – The better your chocolate chips, the richer your fudge.
