FAQs
How do I ensure the layers stay separate?
Chill the vanilla fudge layer completely before pouring the chocolate layer on top. This ensures clean, defined layers.
Can I use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet?
Yes, but the fudge will be sweeter. Adjust the sweetness by using less condensed milk if needed.
What’s the best way to cut the fudge into squares?
Use a sharp knife, warmed slightly under hot water, to slice the fudge cleanly. Wipe the blade between cuts for neat edges.
Can I use a different-sized pan?
You can, but the fudge layers will be thinner or thicker depending on the pan size. Adjust chilling time accordingly.
Is there a substitute for sweetened condensed milk?
Unfortunately, sweetened condensed milk is essential for the texture and sweetness of this recipe. Substituting it may not yield the same results.
