Tips:
- For the smoothest fudge, make sure to use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar mixture.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test. To do this, drop a small amount of the sugar mixture into a bowl of cold water. If the mixture forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If the mixture turns dark brown, it will taste burnt.
- When adding the butter and cream to the sugar mixture, stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- If you want a firmer fudge, let it cool for a longer period of time before cutting it.
- For a softer fudge, cut it while it is still warm.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
