Faq's
One possibility is that the ratio of ingredients may be off, resulting in a fudge that is too soft or runny. So make sure you measure your ingredients correctly.
Another factor could be the quality of the ingredients used using low-quality chocolate or condensed milk may affect the setting process.
Additionally, not allowing enough time for the fudge to cool and set properly can also contribute to its failure to set.
Make sure that your chocolate is completely melted and that there are no little chunks of chocolate left in the mixture. Be patient and allow the fudge to set completely in the fridge for at least an hour.
Your fudge can turn hard if you overcook it or if you let it set not covered, this can cause the fudge to dry out.
Yes! You can double or triple this recipe. There is an option to automatically double, half, or triple this recipe in the recipe card below!

Variations
Chocolate flavor- instead of using classic chocolate flavor, you can make these your own by using your favorite chocolate or chocolate chips like butterscotch chocolate chips, peanut butter chocolate chips, white chocolate, etc.

Vanilla extract- add 1-2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean extract for more flavor. You can also use almond extract or any extract of your choice.
Nuts- add your favorite chopped nuts to this fudge for an added crunch. I recommend toasting them before adding them to the mixture for extra flavor. You can use nuts like hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.
Sprinkle- top the fudge with festive sprinkles of your choice like Christmas sprinkles, Valentine's day sprinkles, easter sprinkles, etc.
Peanut butter- add dollops of peanut butter on top of the fudge and swirl it using a toothpick or a butter knife. You can do this with your favorite spread like Nutella, nut butter of your choice, biscoff butter, etc.
