Tips for Making the Best Fantasy Fudge

If you wish for a thinner fudge, you may use a 9×13” baking dish instead.
I highly recommend using a candy thermometer when heating up the sugar mixture. It is important to be very precise with reaching the correct temperature without going over.
Resist the urge to increase the heat while simmering the milk and sugar. The temperature will stall once it hits 225°. Be patient and let it continue to simmer. Increasing the heat also means increasing the risk of scalding the milk, which can give the fudge a burnt flavor.
