Thermometer
Soft ball is the whole recipe. Guessing is how fudge stays goo.
Chocolate
Chips melt cleanly. A chopped bar works too.
Nuts
Fold them in at the end.
Pan
8-inch square gives a thick piece.

FAQ
Evaporated or condensed?
Evaporated. Condensed milk is already sweetened and will not set this way.
Grainy fudge
The sugar crystallized. Stir less on the boil next time.
Storage
Airtight at room temperature for a week.
Humidity
A wet day keeps it softer.
