SUPER EASY & DELICIOUS FUDGE



Super Easy & Delicious Fudge image

If you like fudge and you like easy, this is the recipe for you! My grandma used to give this to us for Christmas served in circular tins, separated by wax paper. I prefer plain chocolate fudge, but have been known to insert some Andes mints in here or there. I went through a phase in high school where I made this almost bi-weekly.

Time 20m

Yield 1 4.5, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons salted butter
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use Nestle)
1 (12 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (I use Eagle brand)
1 teaspoon vanilla
10 chocolate-covered mint candies (I use Andes brand) (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray a large bread pan (or two small bread pans) with a non-stick spray. Also, prepare a double boiler by getting the water boiling. Also, this is a recipe which requires constant stirring, so have a spoon handy!
  • In the double boiler, add the butter, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk and melt together. Note: if you don't have a double boiler, create a makeshift one by boiling water in a pot and placing another similar-sized pot over it. It keeps you from burning the chocolate by providing an even heat source.
  • Once the mixture is blended and easy to stir, add the chocolate chips, stirring constantly.
  • Stir until the mixture is glossy and well blended with no chunks.
  • Pour into the prepared bread pan(s). If desired, insert Andes chocolate mints throughout the fudge by pushing it into the top. Let cool completely before serving. (Don't put into the refrigerator to cool either.) Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the fudge has a smooth texture, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the mixture constantly as it cooks.
  • If you want a richer fudge, use dark chocolate or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the mixture.
  • If you want a softer fudge, reduce the amount of butter in the recipe.
  • To get a chewy fudge, cook the mixture to a higher temperature (236°F/113°C).
  • To get a creamier fudge, cook the mixture to a lower temperature (234°F/112°C).
  • For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to the fudge, such as mint extract, vanilla extract, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Fudge is a delicious and versatile candy that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own homemade fudge that is sure to impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
