Honestly friends, I almost feel bad posting this one because it’s so simple and really is only three ingredients. But that’s exactly why I love it. It’s the kind of treat you can pull together when you’ve got a last-minute party, need a quick thank-you gift, or just want to add something chocolatey to your dessert tray that everyone will rave about.
This fudge? She never lets me down.
Ingredients
- 3 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- Crushed peppermint candy
Honestly, that’s it.
Let’s Cook!
- Line an 8×8 cake pan with foil and smooth the surface. Spray generously with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the chocolate chips and milk in a bowl and heat over a pot of water. Stir it constantly until everything is melted (it probably won’t take more than 10 minutes).
- Remove it from the heat and keep stirring until smooth.
- If you leave it on the heat too long, the texture gets a little rough (yes, that’s the voice of experience).
- Pour into the prepared cake pan and smooth everything out with a spatula. Sprinkle with the crushed peppermint.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours to let it set up.
- Cut into small squares. Try not to nibble the edges while you do… or do. It’s the holidays.
