Serve Fresh: This fudge is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container.

Mint Fudge: Add a few drops of peppermint extract along with the vanilla for a refreshing mint flavor.
FAQ:

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semisweet? Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate chips for a sweeter, creamier fudge. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be milder.

Can I use sweetened condensed milk instead of whole milk? Sweetened condensed milk can be used, but it will make the fudge sweeter and creamier, so adjust the sugar accordingly.

How do I prevent the fudge from becoming too soft? Be sure to boil the mixture for the full 4-5 minutes to allow it to set properly. If it’s too soft, it may need a bit more time to firm up in the fridge.
