2. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Once the butter, cream cheese, and chocolate have melted together, gradually add the powdered sugar into the mixture. Beat the powdered sugar into the mixture until it is very smooth and there are no lumps remaining. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy and velvety texture in your fudge.

5. Cut into Squares: Once the fudge has cooled and set completely, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares of your desired size. You can opt for traditional bite-sized squares or larger pieces for a more indulgent treat.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Your homemade Pat in Pan Fudge is now ready to be served and enjoyed! This creamy and decadent dessert is perfect for sharing with family and friends during gatherings, or as a delightful treat for yourself whenever you crave something sweet and satisfying.
