Best Ever Fudge Recipe

This rich and creamy fudge is the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers. It's simple to make, requires only a few ingredients, and is perfect for holidays, gifting, or satisfying a sweet tooth.


Ingredients

Base Fudge Recipe:

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add-Ins:

  • ½ cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • ½ cup dried fruit (e.g., cranberries or cherries)
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder (for enhanced chocolate flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Pan:

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining.


2. Melt the Ingredients:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
  2. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

3. Add Flavorings:

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and any desired add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.


4. Pour and Smooth:

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula.


5. Chill:

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm enough to slice.


6. Cut and Serve:

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares and serve.


Tips and Variations

  • Milk or White Chocolate Fudge: Substitute semi-sweet chocolate with milk or white chocolate chips for a sweeter or creamier fudge.
  • Flavor Boosters: Add a teaspoon of peppermint extract for a holiday twist, or sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty treat.
  • Double Batch: Use a 9x13-inch pan and double the ingredients to make more fudge.
  • Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Fudge can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

This fudge is so indulgent and delicious, you'll want to make it again and again. Perfect for any occasion! 🍫✨
