In a pre-lined with parchment paper 9×9 square baking pan, pour the mixture into it.

Allow it to crystallize and set for up to an hour.

Note:

The temperature is key in making fudge. If the fudge is too soft for your liking, you can cook it 1-2 degrees more. If the mixture is cooked over 115c it will become grainy and break apart.
