• Can't find white chocolate chips at your local store? You can use white chocolate bars instead. Just make sure that grab a plain chocolate bar and not one with additions like nuts. 
• For a peppermint flavor add a half teaspoon of peppermint extract to the fudge mixture before spreading it in the baking dish.
