Ingredients

3 cups Milk chocolate chips
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter

Instructions

Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Lightly butter and set aside.
In a large microwavable bowl combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 30 second increments until the chocolate has melted. It took mine about two and ½ minutes. Don’t overcook it or it will get gritty. Quickly pour into the prepared baking dish and press down with a spatula. Refrigerate until set.
If adding a caramel layer, pour melted caramels across and sprinkle with sea salt. Make sure the fudge has hardened first.

Notes

VARIATIONS:

Fudge with nuts: Mix in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans immediately after the chocolate melted.
Peppermint Fudge: Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top immediately after you pour melted chocolate in the pan.

HELPFUL TIPS:

Line your Pan. Make sure to line your baking dish with parchment paper and lightly butter the paper. Doing this will make sure your fudge doesn’t stick to the pan.

Don’t Overcook. My fudge only took about 2 ½ minutes to melt and become creamy. Be careful not to over your 3 ingredient fudge or it will become grainy.

Adding More Layers. If adding the caramel layer, to your 3 ingredient fudge make sure the fudge has hardened completely before pouring the caramel on top.

Storing: Add to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. Remove from the fridge about 15-20 minutes prior to serving. I find it easiest to cut with a plastic knife. It should keep in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 weeks.

Freezing: I like to individually wrap the pieces in plastic wrap then store in a ziplock bag. You can also wrap the whole block of fudge. Once ready to serve just thaw and cut if needed.
