You could also store it in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.

Ours turned out soft. Is it because we put it into the fridge? Tasty but very very soft.

I made this for my father. He used to buy a lemon fudgey type candy at a store that recently closed. He loved it! I used unsalted butter and it still turned out great. Thank you so much for the recipe ❤️

Do you think I could make chocolate fudge with the same ingredients just flipping the lemon ingreds for chocolate I ingreds ?

Yes, just omit the lemon zest and juice and use milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips.

I notice it takes 4 TBLS butter, then it says 2 tbsp lemon juice and 3 tbsp lemon zest…would this also be tablespoon or teaspoon since it is in a small “t”

All tablespoons, I updated the recipe to make it clearer.

What does 3C mean? I don't understand "C" as a measurement - maybe because I'm British?

C is short for cup, in this case that is 160 grams of white chocolate chips.
