Why did my fudge turn out grainy?

Overheating can cause graininess. Melt ingredients slowly over low heat.

How do I get clean cuts?

Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for smooth edges.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes! Use a 9×13-inch pan and double the ingredients.

Do I need a candy thermometer?

No, this is a simple no-fail fudge that doesn’t require precise temperatures.

What’s the best way to package this for gifts?

Wrap in parchment paper, place in a decorative tin, and tie with a ribbon!

Can I add food coloring to make it more vibrant?

Yes! Gel food coloring works best for bright colors.
