Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that flattens out slightly, it's ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the mixture, or it will become too hard and brittle.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
