Equipment & Tools
1 (8x8) Baking Dish
Cooking Spray
Parchment paper
Medium Saucepan
Silicone spatula
Cutting Board
Sharp knife
Ingredients
14ozSweetened condensed milk(approx. 1¾ cup)
2TbspSalted Butter
1tspVanilla extract
2cupsDark chocolate chips
1cupSemi-sweet chocolate chips
Garnish (optional)
Coarse salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. I like to make 2 long strips and set them in a cross-shape, making sure that all the sides poke out from the pan for ease of removal after the fudge has set. Then, spray the paper and pan with a very light coating of cooking spray.
To a medium-sized saucepan on MEDIUM-LOW heat, add 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk, 2 Tbsp Salted Butter, and 1 tsp Vanilla extract.
Stir until the butter melts, and then add the 2 cups Dark chocolate chips and 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips have melted. Then, add in whatever optional add-ins you desire.
Pour the warm mixture into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Coarse salt on top.
Let the fudge cool in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Using the overlaps of parchment paper, pull the fudge from the pan and onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into pieces.
Storage
Keep this fudge in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to three months.
Notes
Variations
Candy Cane Fudge: Use only white chocolate chips, and omit the course salt. Crush up candy canes and add to the fudge. Top the fudge with more crushed candy canes, if you desire. If you like a subtle peppermint flavor, use less candy canes, and if you like a stronger peppermint flavor, use more!Turtle Fudge: Use a mixture of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips and crushed pecans. Top with some course salt and drizzle with caramel sauce. This one is absolutely delicious!Peanut Butter Fudge: Use milk chocolate chips and 1 cup of peanut butter chips.
