Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, but the texture will be smoother and creamier, lacking the chewy bite that mini marshmallows offer.

How long does peppermint fudge last?

Properly stored in the fridge, peppermint fudge can last for up to two weeks. If frozen, it remains good for up to three months.

Can I make this fudge without peppermint extract?

You can, but you’ll lose some of the signature mint flavor. To compensate, increase the amount of crushed peppermint candy slightly.

Why did my fudge turn grainy?

This usually happens when the mixture is overheated or stirred too little. Always melt the ingredients slowly over low heat and stir constantly for a smooth result.
