Recipe Notes
- Line the pan with parchment paper and leave overhang so the fudge can be lifted out easily for slicing.
- Stir the cocoa mixture constantly while heating to prevent scorching.
- Microwave caramels in short intervals, stirring often, to avoid overheating.
- Be sure all plastic wrappers are removed from the caramels before melting.
- If chilled overnight, let the fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
