I love this time of year when the you can't drive too far without seeing Christmas lights, carols are playing on the radio, and being with family feels extra special. It also makes me sad when I realize that it also goes by way too quickly. I made this fudge before Christmas, and I'm finally just getting around to posting it. Technically, the "Christmas season" is not yet over, so we're still okay to post Christmas-y recipes, right? :)
Switch up this quick recipe to fit your taste!
You can use dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet, milk or white chocolate, even butterscotch or peanut butter chips! Also, don't be afraid to add some walnuts, pecans, or mini marshmallows, as well.
**Keep in mind that the fudge will taste like a "fudgy" version of whatever type of chips you use. So don't use semi-sweet chips if you prefer milk chocolate chips. Pretty simple. :)
Ingredients
1 1/2 packages chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
20 regular marshmallows
Directions
Grease a 8x8 inch baking dish and set aside.
Pour chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
Stir.
Microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 15-30 seconds.
Stir in marshmallows.
Continue microwaving in 15-30 second intervals until smooth. (Approximately another 2 minutes.)
Immediately pour into prepared baking dish.
Spread evenly, working quickly.
Refrigerate 2-3 hours before cutting in rows of 6.
**Yields 36 squares.
(Directions with Photos)
**Grease a 8x8 inch baking dish and set aside.**
Pour chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
{You can also use a double boiler for this recipe if you prefer.}
Stir.
Microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 15-30 seconds.
After about 2 minutes, it should start to look more like a batter.
(Don't overcook! If yours looks like this after only 1 minute, move to the next step. Use your best judgement when it comes to melting this all together.)
Stir in marshmallows.
Continue microwaving in 15-30 second intervals until smooth. (Approximately another 2 minutes.)
**If you're going to add nuts or anything, now would be the time to quickly do that. (The fudge begins to set up pretty quickly.)
Immediately pour into prepared baking dish.
Spread evenly, working quickly.
Refrigerate 2-3 hours before cutting in rows of 6.
**Yields 36 squares.
I used mini cupcake liners to separate my fudge squares before storing them.
I think they just look cute that way. :)
