Step 9: Pour the fudge mixture into an 8×8″ pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 10: Working quickly, spread the mixture out to the edge of the pan. We used a second piece of parchment paper to smooth out the top of the fudge.
Step 11: Allow the fudge to fully set (about 2-3 hours) and cut into bite-sized pieces. Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container but we think Fudge tastes best served at room temperature. It should only take about an hour for the fudge to come back up to room temperature.
