Tips:

- To ensure the fudge sets properly, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and a candy thermometer. - Make sure the sugar mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F) before removing it from heat. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it's ready. - Don't overbeat the fudge mixture after adding the butter and milk. Overbeating can cause the fudge to become grainy. - Adding chopped pecans and caramel bits gives the fudge a delicious and crunchy texture. - For a smoother fudge, strain the sugar mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before cooking. - To prevent the fudge from crystallizing, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks.
