Chocolate Fudge – 3-Ingredients,
Ingredients:
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the pan. Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides. For extra insurance against sticking, lightly grease the lining.
Combine ingredients. In a heavy-duty saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Alternative: For the microwave method, place the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Add vanilla. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour and chill. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Cut and serve. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Peel off the paper and cut the fudge into squares.
Tips:
Customize it: For added flavor and texture, stir in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or other mix-ins like marshmallows or butterscotch chips after adding the vanilla.
Prevent a grainy texture: Avoid overheating the chocolate. For the smoothest consistency, use a low temperature and stir constantly.
Ensure a clean cut: For perfect squares, warm a knife under hot water, dry it thoroughly, and then slice the fudge.
