May 12th is Nutty Fudge Day. I saw so many photos and recipes for fudge that now I’m going to get into the fudge-making mode, too. It’s just so darned rich that I am only able to eat one, perhaps two pieces … then I’m done. The neighbors will be having a sweet time later.
Really, anyone can measure a few ingredients, microwave and then spread the pourable fudge into a buttered 8″ X 8″ pan, and place into the refrigerator.
Basic Fudge Recipe
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsweetened butter
1 cup chopped nuts (you decide)
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
~~~~~~~~~
1) Line an 8″ X 8″ dish with foil and coat with butter (lightly)
2) Add all ingredients to a microwavable bowl (medium sized)
3) Microwave two to five minutes, stirring once or twice
4) Once chocolate is melted remove from microwave
5) Stir in nuts (optional)
6) Pour into the dish and spread evenly
7) Place into the refrigerator until set (one to two hours)
Turn out onto a cutting board, score and cut with a hot dry knife
9) Add a tiny bit of sea salt on top
