Or you can using a baking dish with straight sides like this one. Doing this will give every piece of fudge a nice flat bottom. If you use a rounded baking pan, cut off just enough of the edge so that the fudge no longer has a rounded edge.You can see my video for an easy way to divide it into equal pieces or read below.Īfter your fudge has completely set (this usually takes about four hours on the counter top), remove it from the foil and cut it into squares. Let the fudge set at room temperature (covered) for at least four hours. Continue to stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.After the chocolate has mostly melted, stir in the vanilla extract. Stir consistently while the chocolate melts.Place the sauce pan on the stove top over low heat. Combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a small sauce pan.Because of how few ingredients there are, you want the low and even heat of the stove top. While a lot of my fudge recipes are made using the microwave, I encourage you to make this on the stovetop. This is another ingredient that I wouldn’t skimp on. Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract adds a perfect layer of flavor here.I do not recommend using store brand sweetened condensed milk. If you do deviate from Eagle, I suggest another name brand like Carnation. Sweetened Condensed Milk: Not only do I think that Eagle Brand works best here, I will go so far as to say that if you use another brand it won’t work out as well.While this works with all brands of chocolate, you might want to get a higher end chocolate for the best quality and taste. Chocolate Chips: You can use either milk chocolate or semi-sweet, it is just a matter of preference.

I remember so many years of excitement when the holiday season was arriving. My kids really like having holiday cookies and treats to munch on just like I did when growing up. We still try to keep traditional cookie and dessert making a huge part of our holiday fun. The holidays were about gift giving and eating lots of great desserts. That was back before Christmas became so commercialized.

I recall the holidays being filled with many different fudges when I was growing up. After enjoying some of my hubs Traditional Peanut Butter Fudge last week I decided it was time to make some chocolate fudge to enjoy during the holidays. I always just resorted to making easy fudge.

This Traditional Chocolate Fudge is made the old school way with butter, milk, sugar and cocoa.
