Notes

This fudge is easily customizable: swap butterscotch chips for peanut butter or white chocolate chips, or add mini marshmallows for a fun twist!
To prevent graininess, ensure constant gentle stirring and avoid overheating.
Using a hot, dry knife will help you achieve clean cuts when slicing the fudge.
Keep your fudge in an airtight container; it can be stored at room temperature for about a week or up to two weeks in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
