Fudge making tips

I'm about to embark on making white chocolate fudge for the first time.

Now the ingredients have cost me an arm, a leg and a couple of fingers.. So I dont really want to mess it up. The end goal is to give friends and family homemade fudge for Christmas in their hampers

Now this is the first run, so I'd like to make as few mistakes as possible.

Has anyone got any generic tips? No matter how small or obvious they may seem please

Thanks

Im glad I could help.

I was planning on buying some of those plastic/cellofane bags where you flip the top over and seal with a sticker, or seal by tying ribbon round the throat of the bag.

I didnt actually add all the ingredients up...2kg...wow.. And yes, thats too much, i cant manage to eat it all.

Had a bit of a disaster with it, i didnt realise it would take like an hour to get to 120'c, then while boiling it spilt over the pan a bit. Then, when i stirred in the choc the temperature caused the butter to split from the mix :-(

Thank you for the heads up guys :-)

Going to half the ingredients and make rum and raisin tomorrow

I didnt used condensed milk in mine and was fine, so dont think its that. Although im no expert as you can see from above :-)

Try again, im sure it will turn out better
