6-Ingredient Creamy Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference)
2. 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
3. 1/4 cup unsalted butter
4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5. 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, but it helps balance the sweetness)
6. 1 cup mini marshmallows (for a fluffy texture, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Pan:
   • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it’s set.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate chips.
   • Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and stir frequently until everything is melted and smooth. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.
3. Add Vanilla and Salt:
   • Once the mixture is fully melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using) until well combined.
4. Mix in Marshmallows (Optional):
   • If you like a bit of extra texture, gently fold in the mini marshmallows now. The marshmallows will melt slightly into the fudge but still provide some fluffiness.
5. Pour and Set:
   • Pour the creamy fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
   • Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and smooth the top.
6. Chill the Fudge:
   • Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s fully set and firm to the touch.
7. Cut and Serve:
   • Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares.

Optional Toppings:

• Chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds can be sprinkled on top for added crunch.
• You could drizzle some melted white chocolate over the fudge before chilling for a decorative touch.

Storage:

Store your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.

This fudge is so simple to make, and with just 6 ingredients, it’s an easy treat that will satisfy any chocolate cravings! Enjoy!
