Consider making a double batch. This candy keeps for several weeks and I promise you it will disappear quickly!
Chop the fudge into pieces and sprinkle it over ice cream for a delicious treat.
Your homemade fudge is only as good as your ingredients, so invest in Dutch process cocoa and use good quality vanilla for a perfect result.

When you turn the heat down on the fudge mixture, don’t stir it. It needs to get to the right consistency.
