Double Decker Fudge

Removing fudge from a pan lined with parchment paper is a straightforward process. Here are some steps to help you do it successfully.

• Cut parchment paper: Cut a piece of parchment paper with handles so that it fits inside the baking pan with some overhang on the sides. This will make it easy to lift the fudge out once it has set.
• Place parchment paper: Place the parchment paper inside the pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides well.
• Pour the fudge: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan.
• Cool the fudge: Allow the fudge to cool completely in the pan at room temperature. This is important because warm fudge can be soft and may not hold its shape well when removing.
• Loosen the edges: Once the fudge has cooled, use a butter knife or a small offset spatula to gently loosen the edges of the fudge from the sides of the pan. Be careful not to cut through the parchment paper.
• Lift the fudge out: If you used long strips of parchment paper, you can simply grab the edges of the paper and lift the entire slab of fudge out of the pan. If the fudge is thick, you may want to pull the parchment paper up from two sides to encourage it to come out evenly.
• Cut the fudge: Place the slab of fudge on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or your desired shape. If the fudge is too sticky, you can lightly grease the knife with cooking spray or oil to help it glide through the fudge.
• Store or serve: Once cut, you can store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on your preference.

Using parchment paper not only helps with easy removal but also makes cleanup a breeze, as there’s no need to worry about sticking or mess left in the pan!
