Chefs Helpful Tips

• Line Your Pan: Use parchment paper to line your pan for easy removal of the fudge once it’s set.
• Melt Slowly: When melting the chocolate, do it over low heat or in short intervals in the microwave to prevent burning.
• Stir Constantly: Stir the mixture constantly while melting to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
• Chill for Easy Cutting: Let the fudge chill completely in the refrigerator before cutting it into squares. This helps keep the edges clean.
• Use a Hot Knife: Dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting for smooth, even slices.
• Decorate While Soft: Add the sprinkles while the fudge is still soft to ensure they stick well.
• Tightly Wrap with String: After the fudge is set, carefully tie the decorative string to give each piece the look of a wrapped present.
• Store in Airtight Containers: To keep the fudge fresh and prevent it from drying out, store it in airtight containers, especially if making it in advance.
• Personalize the Flavors: Add a pinch of sea salt, peppermint extract, or even a swirl of peanut butter for a unique twist!
