Note

For easier cutting, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing.

Storage: Keep fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Nut Substitution: You can use walnuts, pecans, or almonds. If you prefer a smoother texture, omit the nuts entirely.

Microwave Times: Microwave wattages vary. If your mixture is not fully melted after 4 minutes, continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, to avoid burning.
