Delicious Fudge

Ok. I have to hand it to the ladies at the Large Family boards, because they really do know how to cut down on time and really make things super simple!

I don't normally make fudge because I always felt it was way to labor intensive! Then someone posted this super simple fudge recipe. I tried it tonight with some of the Andes Mint chips for some minty fudge and it was delicious. My husband was shocked at how fast I made it too, LOL!

Seriously you have go to try this one and add it to your holiday baking list.


Chocolate Fudge

1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 C chocolate chips
4 Tb butter

Put all ingredients into a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir well. Microwave again for another 30 seconds and stir again. If it is not thuroughly melted at this point then nuke for 20 second intervals, stirring inbetween until completely melted and mixed.

Pour into an 8x8 greased or lined pan.

Chill until set.

Cut and serve.

*You can add nuts, crushed up candy canes, mint extract, orange extract, flavored extracts of any kind, whatever you like. Try making two layer fudge with peanut butter fudge!


Peanut Butter Fudge
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 C white baking chips
1/2 c peanut butter
1tsp vanilla

Prepare the same way as above.

Minty Chocolate Fudge

1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 C chocolate chips
1 C Mint Chips
4 Tb butter

Prepare as above, but pour only half of the mixture into the pan then add a layer of the left over mint chips and then pour the rest of the mix on top. (This is what I did for the Andes mint fudge and it was delicious!)

Other ideas:
Cherry flavoring with some chopped up dried cherried added.
Orange extract or flavoring and add dried citrus with some chopped walnuts.
Raisins with peanuts for a Chunky Candy Bar effect.

Be creative and share the fun this holiday season.
