Easy-peasy chocolate fudge- Day 4 of Five Days of Festive Fun
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 01:29PM Welcome back for Day 4 of Five Days of Festive Fun.
Since becoming a mom, I’ll admit to taking some shortcuts in the kitchen here and there.
Yeah, I haven’t made my own mayo in months, and I think the last time I made my own pasta, I was two months pregnant with my first child (now five months pregnant with my second!)
So this next recipe is one that my family has used forever. It’s an easy-peasy fudge recipe that you can whip up in minutes and be good to go for a dessert tray add-on that everyone will love.
It’s three ingredients (more or less) unless you want to add more, and the part where you’re using heat (which I try to limit with a toddler in the house) is minimal.
Quick Chocolate Fudge
18 oz of dark chocolate
1 300 ml can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Melt chocolate and condensed milk, stirring constantly over low heat.
Once completely melted, remove from heat, stir in vanilla and pour into an 8x8 parchment lined baking pan.
That’s it! Let cool and cut into 1 inch squares.
Optional add ins:
Traditional: 2/3 cup of toasted chopped walnuts
Festive: 2/3 cups of chopped candy canes
Please sir, may I have s’more: 1/3 cup crumbled graham crackers, 1/3 cup mini marshmallows
Cherry Pop: a pinch of cayenne pepper and 1/3 cup of chopped dried cherries
