Advice

When making chocolate fudge, it is important to use a heavy-bottomed pot and to stir constantly during the cooking process. Make sure to use a candy thermometer, as the fudge must reach a certain temperature in order to set properly. Additionally, keep an eye on the cooking time, as the fudge will burn if it is left on the heat for too long. For best results, use a high-quality chocolate and add in any additions such as nuts or marshmallows at the end of the cooking process. Lastly, be sure to line the pan with wax paper before pouring in the fudge, as it will make it much easier to remove after it sets.
