Tips:

Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the fudge from scorching.
Stir the fudge constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
Pour the fudge onto a greased baking sheet or pan and allow it to cool completely before cutting it into squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
