Super Easy & Delicious Fudge

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons salted butter
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (i use nestle)
• 1 (12 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (i use eagle brand)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 10 chocolate-covered mint candies (i use andes brand) (optional)

Recipe

• 1 spray a large bread pan (or two small bread pans) with a non-stick spray. also, prepare a double boiler by getting the water boiling. also, this is a recipe which requires constant stirring, so have a spoon handy!
• 2 in the double boiler, add the butter, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk and melt together. note: if you don't have a double boiler, create a makeshift one by boiling water in a pot and placing another similar-sized pot over it. it keeps you from burning the chocolate by providing an even heat source.
• 3 once the mixture is blended and easy to stir, add the chocolate chips, stirring constantly.
• 4 stir until the mixture is glossy and well blended with no chunks.
• 5 pour into the prepared bread pan(s). if desired, insert andes chocolate mints throughout the fudge by pushing it into the top. let cool completely before serving. (don't put into the refrigerator to cool either.) enjoy!
