Additional recipe notes
I like to use 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 4 ounces ofextra dark chocolate and this makes fudge that isn’t too overly sweet for us. If you prefer sweeter fudge, I suggest using either all semi-sweet chocolate or even using some semi-sweet and some milk chocolate chips. If you prefer a super dark fudge, you make want to consider using 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 4 ounces of semi-sweet chips. Fudge keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
