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 set over medium-low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
- Stir Continuously: Stir the mixture constantly for about 7-8 minutes until the chocolate and butter fully melt and the fudge mixture turns smooth and creamy, ensuring it does not burn.
- Pour Into Pan: Pour the melted fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge until firm, preferably overnight to achieve the best texture and firmness.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, carefully lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil edges. Peel off the foil and transfer the fudge to a cutting board. Cut into 42 squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a heavy saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
- Constant stirring is key to achieving a smooth and creamy texture.
- Allowing the fudge to set overnight yields the best consistency and easier slicing.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- For a flavor twist, consider adding nuts or a pinch of sea salt before chilling.
