Tips:
- For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed candy canes or chopped nuts on top of the fudge before it sets.
- Ensure the saucepan used for cooking the sugar and milk mixture is large enough to prevent overflow once it starts boiling.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture in your fudge.
- If you prefer a softer fudge, reduce the cooking time slightly. Conversely, for a firmer fudge, extend the cooking time by a minute or two.
- Experiment with different extracts, such as peppermint or almond, to add unique flavor profiles to your fudge.
