FAQs

Can I use regular liquid food coloring instead of gel?

Gel food coloring is preferred because it doesn’t affect the fudge’s consistency, but you can use liquid food coloring. Use less liquid to avoid thinning the fudge.

Can I make this fudge without sprinkles?

Yes, the sprinkles add a festive touch but aren’t necessary. You can also top the fudge with nuts, shredded coconut, or leave it plain.
