Super-Easy Chocolate Fudge
This easy chocolate fudge is a snap to make with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and a little butter. If you use the microwave to heat the mixture, be sure to stir it frequently until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is well blended.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (6 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Preparation:

Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan; line with a piece of plastic wrap about 18 to 24 inches in length, leaving the ends out to cover the finished fudge. The ends will also serve as "handles" which will help you lift the fudge out of the pan.

Heat the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in nuts, if using; pour into the prepared pan. Spread gently then cover lightly with the ends of the plastic wrap. Chill until firm. Lift out of the pan and cut into small squares.

It is super easy, Member orangedot83

I just used this recipe and it turned out fantastic. I had issues with making fudge in the past, and I think adding the butter really helped. I used all Milk Chocolate chips, and next time I'm going to use the Mint Chocolate chips. Takes a bit to set, but once it does, its AMAZING. Wish I would have taken a picture.
