For the Fudge:
-
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
(The base of the fudge, providing sweetness and creaminess.)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
(For rich, melty chocolate goodness.)
Optional Add-Ins:
-
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for enhanced aroma)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans for crunch)
- Sprinkles or mini marshmallows (for festive flair)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
-
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Set aside while you prepare the fudge mixture.
Step 2: Combine Chocolate Chips and Condensed Milk
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1–2 minutes , depending on your microwave’s power.
Step 3: Stir in Optional Add-Ins
If using vanilla extract, nuts, sprinkles, or other mix-ins, stir them into the melted chocolate mixture now. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Step 4: Pour Into the Pan
- Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
Step 5: Chill and Set
-
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 2–3 hours , or until the fudge is firm and holds its shape.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Step 6: Cut Into Squares
Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into bite-sized squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week .
