- Melting Chocolate – Make sure that you are melting the white chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl. You want the mixture to be contained to the bowl so it does not make a big mess.
- Chill before cutting – Make sure the fudge has been giving enough time to chill before cutting. It will make it easier to cut and they will look better.
