Fudge Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the 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 chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Cook Mixture: Stir constantly for about 7-8 minutes until the chocolate and butter have melted completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
- Pour into Pan: Transfer the melted mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it out smoothly.
- Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to set fully, preferably overnight, for the best firm texture.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the foil edges, peel away the foil, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into 42 small squares. Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Ensure constant stirring during melting to avoid scorching the chocolate.
- Using a heavy saucepan helps distribute heat evenly and prevents burning.
- For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife warmed slightly under hot water and wiped dry before slicing.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- You can add nuts or flavor extracts if desired for variation.
