Tips and variations for making this Lemon Fudge Recipe:

● Double boiler – The only thing you have to watch for is that your chocolates are melting at pretty much the same rate in the double boiler. And please use a double boiler and do not melt the chocolate in a microwave. The double boiler will prevent burning and hardening, and the microwave does not.
● This recipe used store-bought lemon curd. Homemade lemon curd recipe
● Lemon curd is found in the baking section with the pie fillings and/or in the jelly section of your local grocery store.
● The 10 ounces of lemon curd in this recipe was one jar.
● The 24 ounces of white chocolate chips were one bag.
● If you would like a stronger yellow color, add a few drops of yellow food coloring or yellow food gel after the white chocolate chips have melted.
● If you would like to sprinkle some lemon zest on top, do so before the fudge sets up. Simply the lemon from the lemon rind. The difference between the lemon peel and the lemon rind is that the peel includes all parts of the exterior of the lemon, including the white pith. The rind is the color that you zest.
● A candy thermometer is not necessary to make this recipe.

● If you plan on making 36 servings, that is cutting 6 rows x 6 rows. If you plan on making 25 servings, that is cutting 5 rows by 5 rows.
● Place one sheet of parchment paper across the pan. Place the second sheet of parchment paper across the first sheet (to form an +).
● It is best if the rest of the ingredients are not altered as they specifically complement or counteract each other in the perfect manner. I would not be able to offer any other suggestions as substitutions that would work in the same manner.
● Fudge can be stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last up to two weeks in either situation. Do not store fudge at room temperature.
