Tips for Success
To ensure your fudge turns out perfectly, make sure not to overheat the chocolate in the microwave. Stirring the mixture occasionally helps prevent burning and ensures even melting. Also, line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal once set.
Additional Tips or Variations
You can experiment with different types of nuts or even add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty contrast. For a more intense cinnamon flavor, add a dash of ground cinnamon to the mixture before setting.
