Tips for Making the Best Fudge

Use pre-crushed peppermint candy instead of crushing yourself. These can be found near the chocolate chips in the baking aisle. It helps to cut down on the mess.
Be sure you grab the can of sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk. 🙄 Trust me on this one!
Swap out the dark chocolate for white chocolate or milk chocolate. I do this when making it for my husband because he is not a fan of dark chocolate.
