Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the best chocolate to use?

For a perfectly balanced flavor, we recommend using semi-sweet chocolate chips. However, feel free to experiment with milk or dark chocolate chips as long as they are of high quality.

Do I have to use walnuts?

Not a fan of walnuts? No worries! You can easily substitute them with chopped pecans or almonds. Alternatively, you can omit the nuts altogether.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! If you want to make a larger batch, simply double the ingredients and use a 9×13-inch pan instead of the recommended 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan.

How long does it need to set?

The best part about this fudge is that it sets quickly. In just around 15 minutes, you can enjoy its rich and creamy texture.

Can I make it saltier?

If you enjoy the combination of sweet and salty, you’re in luck! Sprinkle some flaked or regular salt on top of the fudge, or use salted walnuts to add a savory twist.

How do I store leftovers?

To keep your fudge fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Simply let it defrost at room temperature before enjoying.
