Helpful Tips :
Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using chocolate chips that contain stabilizers, as they may not melt smoothly.
Pecan Preparation: Toasting pecans enhances their flavor. Simply place them on a baking sheet and roast at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
Cutting Fudge: For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water, dry it, and then slice the fudge. This will prevent it from sticking and ensure neat pieces.
Storage: Keep the fudge refrigerated to maintain its firmness. You can also freeze it for longer storage—just ensure it’s wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn.
