Note

Use a candy thermometer for best results to ensure the sugar mixture reaches the correct soft-ball stage (234ðF). If you don't have one, test by dropping a small amount into cold water; it should form a soft ball.

For easier cutting, wrap the cooled fudge in wax paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes before slicing.

Nuts are optional. If using, walnuts, pecans, or almonds work best. Toast them lightly beforehand for extra flavor.

Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
