RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Know your microwave: This recipe was made using an 1100W microwave on high. Adjust times if yours is lower or higher wattage.
- For perfectly smooth fudge, always use full-fat condensed milk and stir every 2 minutes during microwaving.
- Line your tin with baking paper (parchment paper) — this makes removing the fudge a breeze once it’s set and keeps the edges beautifully neat.
- Don't skip stirring: Stirring helps prevent hot spots and ensures the sugar dissolves evenly.
- Work quickly: The fudge begins to set as it cools - have your tin ready.
- Quality chocolate matters: Use white chocolate melts or cooking chocolate for a smooth texture.
- Salted Caramel Fudge - include the optional sea salt in the fudge mixture as well as an extra sprinkle on top.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or in the fridge for 3 weeks.
- Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Gift it: Wrap small squares in parchment or add to a treat box for easy edible gifts.
