Notes

• If you are feeding a crowd, this would be a great recipe to double.
• When lining the pan with parchment paper, allow a little bit of excess paper to overhang the edges of the pan to make it easy to lift out the fudge for slicing.
• We found the longer this fudge chilled, the better it firmed up. So don’t skimp on the chilling time for this recipe.
• Before chilling, score the top of the fudge with a knife to make slicing it easier later.
• The texture of this fudge is different from many other recipes. It is firm but also somewhat chewy.
