For the richest flavor, use high-quality baking chocolate. A candy thermometer is crucial for achieving the correct fudge consistency. If you don't have one, use the cold water test, but be very attentive. Beating the fudge is essential for creating the right texture. Don't skip this step! If your fudge becomes grainy, it may have been overcooked. Try adding a tablespoon of milk and reheating gently, stirring constantly, to smooth it out. Feel free to add chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), dried fruit, or other flavorings to the fudge after beating and before pouring into the dish.
