Fudge Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal later. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Ingredients: In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
- Stir Until Smooth: Continuously stir the mixture for about 7-8 minutes until the chocolate and butter have completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge in the pan until it is fully set, preferably overnight to ensure it firms up perfectly.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the foil overhang, peel off the foil, place on a cutting board, and cut into squares to serve.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning or scorching the chocolate mixture.
- Be sure to stir constantly to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
- You can add chopped nuts or flavor extracts if desired for variation.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
