Notes
Note: Just a quick tip about making fudge! It's super important to use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. Sweetened condensed milk is thick and sweet, perfect for getting that fudgy texture and taste we all love. If you swap it with evaporated milk, which is thinner and not sweet, your fudge might end up more like a liquid than that yummy treat we're aiming for.
