  • Don't overcook the fudge. If you overcook the fudge, it will become grainy and hard. To prevent this, cook the fudge over medium heat and stir it constantly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help the fudge to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. The fudge will last for up to 2 weeks.
