Notes
Use a heavy-based saucepan for even heat and to prevent fudge from sticking to the base and burning. Fudge sets quickly, so work fast when stirring in the chocolate and spreading it into the pan or it may seize. Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: Use cookie cutters to cut fudge into shapes such as stars, Christmas trees, rounds or flowers.
