Dorothy\u2019s Expert Tips<\/h2>\n\nIf you\u2019re struggling to get the white chocolate to melt, use a spatula to smoosh it as it heats. It\u2019ll eventually disolve.<\/li>\n I like doing this in a pan over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly because I can control the heat. You can make it in a microwave but be sure to stir often so the chocolate doesn\u2019t burn or seize.<\/li>\n Fudge is a great make ahead treat because it can last in the fridge up to 2+ weeks in an airtight container OR be frozen!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\nLine a 9\u00d79\u2033 or 8\u00d78\u2033 pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nPlace white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute on high power; stir. Heat an additional 30 seconds, stirring after, and continuing until mixture is just melted together and smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nStir in vanilla and salt, then stir in candy cane pieces and spread in prepared pan. Chill to set (sometimes it\u2019ll set on the counter, but it\u2019ll take longer and depend on the how warm your house is).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t <\/p>\n

FAQs<\/h3>\n\n
Why didn\u2019t my fudge set?<\/strong> <\/p>\nMake sure to use regular sweetened condensed milk, not nonfat.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Why is my fudge grainy?<\/strong> <\/p>\nIt may have been over cooked (just cook until the mixture is melted) or you may have accidentally used fat free sweetened condensed milk.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
How long does fudge last?<\/strong> <\/p>\nIf stored in an airtight container in the fridge, fudge will last 2+ weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Can you freeze fudge?<\/strong> <\/p>\nFreeze fudge in an airtight container for up to 2+ months. It\u2019s best if it\u2019s not sliced when frozen, it\u2019ll stay fresher.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFavorite Fudge Recipes<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
