Got it! Let’s go over fudge clearly. 🍫
Fudge is a rich, sweet confection usually made from sugar, butter, milk (or cream), and chocolate. It’s smooth, creamy, and cuts into squares. The classic idea is that it’s soft enough to melt in your mouth but firm enough to hold its shape.

💡 Tip: Don’t overcook the sugar mixture—otherwise the fudge will be hard instead of creamy.
I can also give a quick, no-bake 10-minute fudge version that’s super easy if you want it fast.
