FAQ & TIPS for this Gingerbread Fudge Recipe
Do I need a candy thermometer?
One of the best things about this easy fudge recipe is that it can be made with no special equipment! The use of white chocolate chips makes it pretty full proof and it sets up beautifully. So no thermometer is needed! If you have one and want to keep an eye on the temperature of your sugar you want to keep it in the soft-ball stage range of 235-245 degrees as it cooks.
Can I decorate this fudge?
I like to keep it simple and use sprinkles to decorate this festive treat but if you want to this fudge is great to decorate. You can use white or colored candy melts and pipe designs on individual pieces of fudge. You can also use shaped silicone molds to make the fudge in the shape of gingerbread men, snowflakes, Christmas or any other holiday shape and then decorated them!
How to store this fudge-
This easy fudge is best stored refrigerated in an air-tight container. If you are packaging the fudge in layers place a piece of parchment or wax paper between each layer of fudge so that it doesn’t stick. It can be kept at room temperature but can get soft if your house is too warm so for best results I like to keep it refrigerated and get it out about 15 minutes before serving.
