FAQ
Q: Can I make this without a candy thermometer?
A: Yes, you can use the soft-ball test. Drop a small amount of the hot mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that flattens when pressed, it’s ready.

Q: Why is my fudge grainy?
A: Grainy fudge is often caused by stirring too early or cooking at too high a temperature. Follow the steps closely to avoid crystallization.

Q: Can I use condensed milk instead of whole milk?
A: This recipe is best with whole milk for its classic texture, but if you want a richer version, you can experiment with condensed milk.
