Notes

  • Use semisweet chocolate for a balanced sweetness or dark chocolate for a richer result.
  • Use 330 g chocolate if you want firmer fudge.
  • Do not overheat the mixture or the chocolate can become grainy.
  • Chill fully before slicing for the cleanest edges.
  • A warm knife wiped clean between cuts helps make neat squares.
  • Store the fudge in the refrigerator if your kitchen is warm.
