Storage and reheating tips
To keep your remaining fudge fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you have more than you can eat, consider freezing it!

Just remember to allow the fudge to thaw for a few hours at room temperature before enjoying.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, be sure to stir continuously while melting the chocolate and other ingredients. This will prevent burning and ensure a smooth texture. If you prefer a slight crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers just before pouring the mixture into the dish.
Creative twists
Want to switch things up? Experiment with different flavors by swapping out the Fireball whisky for flavored liqueurs like butterscotch or hazelnut.
