-
Bring the mixture to a full boil, ensuring that all ingredients are fully incorporated. This step is crucial for the proper texture of your fudge.

-
Boil gently for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan. This brief boiling period helps to activate the thickening agents in the pudding mix.

-
Quickly blend in the confectioners’ sugar, ensuring that it is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. This step adds sweetness and contributes to the smooth texture of the fudge.
-
Add nuts (optional) to the mixture if desired, stirring gently to distribute evenly. Nuts can add a delightful crunch and flavor contrast to your fudge.
-
Pour the fudge mixture into a greased 8×4-inch pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure a uniform thickness.
-
Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it is firm to the touch.
-
Cut the cooled fudge into squares using a sharp knife or a bench scraper. Adjust the size of the squares according to your preference.
