Tips & Variations

- Add a pinch of sea salt on top before it sets to balance sweetness and add texture.
- For a richer flavor, substitute white chocolate chips with white almond bark.
Storage
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you live in a warm climate, keep it in the refrigerator to prevent melting. Before serving, let refrigerated fudge sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly.

FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
Evaporated milk is key to getting the right texture and consistency in this fudge. Using regular milk may make the fudge too soft and sticky, so it’s best to stick with evaporated milk.
How do I know when the fudge has reached the right temperature?
Using a candy thermometer is the easiest and most accurate way. The fudge mixture should reach about 235°F, the soft-ball stage. Without a thermometer, boil for the full 8 minutes while stirring constantly, but a thermometer is highly recommended for best results.
