Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead?
Yes! The base works beautifully with any chocolate, though white lets the caramel shine.

2. Can I use evaporated milk instead of condensed?
No — sweetened condensed milk is thicker and sweeter, crucial for fudge texture.

3. Can I make this in the microwave?
Yes! Melt chocolate and condensed milk in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth.

4. How long does fudge last?
In the fridge, up to 1 week — or freeze up to 3 months.
