Tips & Tricks
✅ Work Quickly – Since the fudge starts to set fast, make sure to mix and layer your colors efficiently.
✅ Use Gel Food Coloring – This will give you bright, vibrant colors without affecting the texture.
✅ Switch Up the Flavors – Try lemon, raspberry, or coconut extract instead of orange or strawberry for a new twist.
✅ Let It Fully Set – For cleaner cuts, let the fudge chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.

FAQs
Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
White chocolate works best for holding food coloring and maintaining pastel colors, but you could try a milk chocolate version with different add-ins like peanut butter or caramel.

How should I store Jelly Bean Fudge?
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If stacking pieces, place parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking.

Can I freeze this fudge?
Yes! Wrap individual pieces in wax paper, store them in an airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Let them come to room temperature before serving.
