Notes
Prep Tips
- Use the milk chocolate for a sweeter fudge or the semi-sweet chocolate for a richer, less-sweet result.
- Check that your raspberry extract is fresh, since extracts can lose flavor over time.
- For the cleanest cuts, wipe the knife between slices.
- If you're making this for a holiday gathering, prepare it a day ahead to free up time for other desserts.
- Use a sharp, straight-edged knife rather than a serrated one to help create neat squares.
Variations
- Try strawberry or cherry extract for a different fruity flavor.
- For a pretty two-tone finish, add a few extra white chocolate accents to the top.
- Decorate with seasonal sprinkles to match the occasion.
Serving Suggestions
- Add the fudge to a holiday dessert tray with cookies, brownies, and other homemade candies.
- Package a few pieces in a decorative tin or treat bag for an easy homemade gift.
- Serve alongside fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fresh contrast to the rich chocolate.
Storage
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Place parchment or wax paper between layers to keep the pieces from sticking together.
- For the best texture, let refrigerated pieces sit at room temperature briefly before serving.
