Tootsie Roll Fudge Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n

Can I melt Tootsie Rolls in the microwave?<\/h3> \r\n\r\nYes! You can melt the mixture of Tootsie Rolls, peanut butter and butter in the microwave. For best results, we recommend microwaving in 10-15-second increments. After 10 seconds, remove the mixture from the microwave, stir, and return to the microwave until the mixture is melted (the mixture will be thick). Here are more tips on how to make fudge<\/a>. \r\n

Can I substitute peanuts or another kind of nut for the pecans?<\/h3> \r\n\r\nFeel free to use peanuts, cashews, walnuts or mixed nuts in place of the pecans in this recipe. Or omit the nuts altogether if they\u2019re not your thing. You can also swap the vanilla extract for almond extract<\/a> for a sweet twist. The red and green M&M\u2019s add festive flair to this fudge, but you could also use Reese\u2019s Pieces to complement the peanut butter flavor in this recipe. \r\nBe sure to use a regular brand of peanut butter when making this fudge. Natural peanut butter or other nut butters that have oil separation may not yield the same result. \r\n\r\n

How do I store Tootsie Roll fudge?<\/h3> \r\n\r\nStore the fudge in a covered airtight container for up to 1 week. Check out these other fudge recipes<\/a> for when you\u2019re craving a sweet treat.
