Notes

  • This recipe makes 32 pieces that are 1/2 inch in size. If you want larger pieces, there will be less servings.
  • Do NOT use nonstick spray on the pan instead of parchment paper. It just won't work.
  • Either salted caramel or regular caramel candy melts will work, just don't use actual caramel pieces.
  • You can use a smaller or larger pan, but the thickness and serving sizes will vary. Smaller pans will take longer to set, while larger pans will take less time to set.
  • Once the fudge is in the refrigerator and setting, don't move it or it will make the top of the fudge look wrinkled.
  • This fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • If you freeze the fudge, allow to soften and come to room temperature before eating, otherwise it will be too hard.
