Tips and Tricks
🟢 Make sure not to scorch the butterscotch chips when melting but stirring constantly. If you’re using a microwave, never let them go for more than 15 seconds without stirring.
🟢 Allowing the fudge to set in the fridge for a few hours before slicing will make it easier to get clean sharp cuts.
🟢 Swiping the knife with vegetable oil will also help give you a perfectly clean cut!
