For a richer flavor, use coconut oil instead of butter. Be patient while simmering! Stirring frequently prevents scorching. Adjust the amount of ginger to your preference. Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

May 29, 2025My fudge didn't set properly. I think I didn't cook it long enough. Next time, I'll be sure to use a candy thermometer!
