Pro Tips

  1. Use high-quality chocolate! The better the chocolate, the smoother and richer the fudge will be.
  2. Don’t overheat the chocolate. Keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Let each layer set completely. Refrigerate the vanilla layer for 20 minutes before adding the ganache.
  4. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. Wipe it with a warm, damp cloth between slices.
  5. Make it extra special! Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for a cake-like texture.
