Notes
Recipe Notes
Note #1- DO NOT USE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS to make this fudge. White chocolate chips do not have enough cocoa butter in them and the fudge turns out waxy. You will want a good quality white chocolate bar. The bars have a much higher percentage of cocoa butter which in turns yields a much smoother fudge.
