Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Oh honey, I made this mistake once—big nope! Regular chocolate overpowers that delicate cotton candy flavor. White chocolate's creamy sweetness is the perfect backdrop. If you're in a pinch, white candy melts work, but they're sweeter so maybe use just 1/4 cup syrup instead.

Help! My fudge turned out grainy—can I fix it?

Don't panic—this happens to the best of us! Scoop it back into your microwave-safe bowl, add 1 tsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil), and re-melt in 15-second bursts, stirring gently between each. It usually comes back together beautifully. The key next time? Don't overheat the chocolate!

Can I freeze cotton candy fudge for later?

Absolutely! Wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer bag for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight—the texture stays perfect. I always keep some emergency fudge in my freezer for last-minute cravings (or unexpected guests!).
