Notes

Organization: read the recipe first and ensure you have ingredients at the correct temperature, equipment, and enough workspace. This will make the process so much easier.
If doubling the recipe, an 8-inch square pan is a good choice. Make sure it's lined so it's easy to remove, and cover it well when refrigerating, especially if making the fudge several days or weeks ahead. 
Add-ins: use any dried fruit and nut combination you like. 
Salty: sprinkle some sea salt after you spread it in the pan before it hardens.
Plain: this fudge can be made plain.
Storing: it keeps in the refrigerator for weeks, well wrapped.
