You know that you want this recipe!
I have been having a fudge craving for the past week. Yesterday, I finally gave in and made my favorite recipe for fudge. It is very easy and I have never had it not turn out. (You know, the grainy, dry fudge... like some fudge that you get from friends. You know, the stuff that you throw away as soon as they leave. Sorry, but it's the truth.)
Fool-Proof Fudge
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1- 14oz. can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
A dash of salt
1 1/2t. vanilla
1c. chopped nuts (I use walnuts.)
Melt the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler with the milk. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Spread into wax paper lined 8" square pan. Chill 2 hours. Turn fudge out onto cutting board. Peel off waxed paper and cut into squares. Store at room temperature.
My changes:
- I used the dark chocolate chips, instead of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. I like the intensity of the dark chocolate.
- Experiment with substitutes for the nuts. Try chopped Andes chocolate on top for great mint flavor. What about raisins or peanuts or chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups... Dream BIG!
- I sprinkled sea salt on top of a portion of the fudge as an experiment and it was wonderful! I let Jay have a few pieces and then I put the rest in a "special" container for myself. Yep, I'm selfish!
