Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Fudge Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 10 oz sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, then lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set the pan aside for later.
  2. Melt butter and condensed milk: Place ¼ cup unsalted butter and 10 oz sweetened condensed milk in a small pot. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning and ensure the mixture melts evenly.
  3. Add and melt chocolate chips: Once the butter and condensed milk are fully melted and combined, add 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Continue stirring often until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour mixture into pan: Transfer the chocolate mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly all the way to the edges of the pan for consistent thickness.
  5. Chill the fudge: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  6. Cut into squares: Remove the chilled fudge from the fridge. Carefully lift it out of the pan using the foil or parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into small squares; wiping the knife clean between cuts will ensure neat slices.

Notes

  • For the best texture, allow the fudge to chill long enough to fully set before cutting.
  • You can store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • To add a personal touch, consider mixing in chopped nuts or a pinch of sea salt before chilling.
  • Use a sharp knife warmed with hot water for cleaner cuts.
  • If you prefer a less sweet fudge, opt for bittersweet chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
