Can this recipe be used with Ghiradelli melting wafers?
Hi Sherry, you could use candy melts but I wouldn’t recommend it. The fudge won’t taste as good as using good quality white chocolate.
Can’t wait to try it. Sounds yummy
Is there any change for high altitude?
I cooked it for about 1.5 minutes longer and it turned out wonderful. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
Thank you amy
I’ve not heard of marshmallow cream
I can buy it in Canada and the US, kraft is the brand name.
Can fudge be frozen ahead of time? Does it lose any quality?
Hi Monica, yes fudge freezes well, wrap in plastic wrap and the put in container.
If you freeze it, do you thaw before serving?
Hi Jamie, I would thaw them in refrigerator, so they thaw more slowly. Also store in airtight container in refrigerator.
