My Simple Fudge

Fudge brings to mind slaving over a hot stove, making sure you don't scorch the chocolate, then cursing b/c you didn't get it right.  I am happy to say that I've found that that does not have to be the case!  With this recipe, you can whip up a pound of fudge in under 10 minutes then just sit back, let it harden, chop it up and give it away (or eat it all yourself, no judgement!)  Try this one soon!

Ingredients:

- 1 bag Semi- Sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Cup Milk Chocolate chips
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
- Pinch of Salt
- Optional:  Nuts of any kind

Directions:

1.  Line a 9 inch pan with foil, making sure the foil goes over the side.  This will allow you to lift the fudge out of the pan easily without any sticking and any mess.  I do not own a square 9 inch pan, it met it's dreadful demise a long while ago (don't ask!) so I use my circle pie pan, lol.  It works fine!

2.  Pour your bag of semi-sweet chips into a large bowl and add the cup of milk chocolate chips to that.  Microwave for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the chocolate is melted.  Spray your rubber spatula with cooking spray, and stir in the sweet milk, vanilla, and salt.  Mix well.

3.  Pour your chocolate mixture into your foil lined pan and spread as evenly as possible.  Place the fudge into the refrigerator for AT LEAST 3 hours or overnight.

4.  Place your pan on a sheet pan and lift your brick of fudge out of the pan.  Peel off the foil and toss it in the trash.  Now using a sharp knife, cut your fudge into strips, then cut into cubes.  They don't have to be perfect here....it's fudge!

Here's the final product.....

Very sweet and screams holiday give away!  That's what I did....along with a plate of Peanut Butter Blossoms (recipe soon!)  I hope you all enjoyed your Xmas!  Happy Holidays :-)
