Components:
- Two cups of chocolate chips that are semisweet
- Half a cup of condensed milk with added sugar
- One-fourth cup unsalted butter
- One teaspoon of vanilla cream
- A pinch of salt
- Half a cup of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts, if desired)
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings or small chocolate chips (optional topping)
Directions:
1. Get the pan ready:
- Use aluminum foil or parchment paper to line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish, providing an overhang so that the fudge can be removed easily when it has set.
- Apply a thin layer of cooking spray or butter to the foil or paper.
2. Get the chocolate melted:
- Heat the butter, sweetened condensed milk, and semisweet chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the butter and chocolate have melted completely.
3. Include Flavors:
- Take the saucepan off of the burner as soon as the mixture is smooth.
- Add a touch of salt and the vanilla extract and stir. This improves the flavor of the chocolate.
4. Include Extra Mix-ins:
- If you would like to add some crunch and texture, fold in the chopped nuts now.
5. Pour the mixture for the fudge:
- Fill the baking dish with the melted chocolate fudge mixture.
- Smooth the top by spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Allow the Fudge to cool:
- The fudge should be totally set and solid to the touch after at least two hours in the refrigerator.
7. Add the finishing touches (optional):
- For an added touch of chocolate sweetness, top with chocolate shavings or small chocolate chips after it has set.
8. Chop and Present:
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil or parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares, ranging from 16 to more, depending on the desired size.
- Serve and savor!
Advice:
- Creamier Fudge: You can add a splash of cream or a small amount extra sweetened condensed milk to make the fudge even smoother and creamier.
- Storage: Keep the fudge squares in the fridge for up to one or two weeks in an airtight container.
- Flavor Variations: Try incorporating various flavors, like a sea salt sprinkle for a sweet-salty twist, marshmallows, or a swirl of peanut butter.
