Looking for the best tools to make no cook fudge recipes?

Here are some of my favorite tools for making the best candy cane fudge. Of course you can use these items to make your favorite flavors of fudge, choose any from this page and you’re in business.

First up you’ll need the best pan. I like an 8×8 pan for making fudge but if you are going to double the recipe you can use a 9×13 and it’ll still come out perfectly thick and indulgent.

Next up you’ll ned parchment paper. It’s important to line the pan so that you’ll have an easy way to remove the fudge in one block and get those perfectly square bites!

Finally we need a mixing bowl and spatula to keep everything smooth and ready for the pan! These are my favorites and they’re super easy to get thanks to Amazon.

Another great pair to have on hand is a good sharp knife and a cutting board…of course you need those to get this fudge ready to serve!
