   • Line a square baking pan (8×8 inches) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Soften Cream Cheese and Butter:

6. Add a Pinch of Salt:
   • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Mix it into the fudge mixture.
7. Transfer to Pan:
   • Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
8. Chill in the Refrigerator:
   • Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2-3 hours or until it becomes firm.
9. Cut into Squares:
   • Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or desired shapes.
