X 8&#8243; pan if you don&#8217;t have or don&#8217;t want to, make it in the silicone mold. \u00a0Any sized silicone mold will work. \u00a0Keep in mind that you do not have to fill each of the wells up, you can put as little or as much into each of them. \u00a0If you want a thinner fudge, use a larger pan 9&#8243;
