FAQs
Q: Can I use regular food coloring instead of gel?
A: Gel food coloring is recommended because it is more concentrated and won’t alter the texture of the fudge. However, if using liquid food coloring, add it sparingly to avoid making the fudge too runny.
Q: How can I prevent the fudge from sticking to the knife when cutting?
A: For clean cuts, dip the knife in hot water and wipe it off between cuts. This method helps in achieving smooth edges.
Q: Is it possible to freeze the fudge for longer storage?
A: Yes, Sally Skellington Fudge can be frozen. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
