Notes:
- Corn syrup prevents the crystallization of sugar crystals and creates a smoother fudge. If you do not have corn syrup, use 3 cups of granulated sugar and be sure to stir constantly when cooking.
- This recipe uses Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Different kosher salt brands have varied crystal sizes and may affect the salinity of the recipe, so adjust accordingly.
- Using a 9x9 pan will create thick, chunky fudge. Using a 9x13 pan will create thinner fudge, and will feed more guests.
- It is important to stir constantly to prevent scorching.
