Frequently Asked Questions
What is the secret to good fudge?
For most classic recipes, the secret to getting perfectly set fudge is hitting the right temperature. But for most of my recipes, the secret is sweetened condensed milk. I like easy fudge recipes that don’t require special tools, just a bowl and a microwave.
What can I do with leftover fudge?
Fudge freezes great, so you can always freeze some for later. Otherwise gently melt some down with a little bit of milk for a luscious hot fudge ice cream sauce.
