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 milkbutter, 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!
