- Yield: 1 8×8 pan
Ingredients:
- 3 cups chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather your chocolate chips, butter (cut into chunks), sweetened condensed milk, and nuts if using. Grease an 8×8 inch dish and set aside.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe 2-quart dish, add the chocolate chips, butter, condensed milk, and nuts if desired.
-
Microwave: Place the dish in the microwave and heat on 50 percent power for 3-4 minutes. Pause and check the mixture occasionally until almost all the ingredients are melted, stirring once or twice during the process to ensure even melting.
-
Stir and Pour: Once the mixture is almost fully melted, remove it from the microwave and quickly stir until smooth and well combined. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared greased 8×8 inch dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Set and Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and transfer it to the refrigerator. Allow the fudge to chill until it is fully set, which typically takes about 1-2 hours.
-
Serve: Once the fudge is set, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to cut into neat squares. Serve and enjoy!
