Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If it gets too hot, it will crystallize and the fudge will not set properly.
• If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the mixture is ready.
• Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
