Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with 60-70% cocoa content. Feel free to add nuts, chocolate chips, or sea salt on top before setting. These fudge squares can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Individually wrap and freeze squares for up to three months for future enjoyment. Let squares sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
