Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook the Base Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Melt the Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir vigorously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Let It Set: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 1-2 hours).
- Slice and Serve: Once firm, cut the fudge into small squares and enjoy!
Notes
- The fudge can be chilled faster by refrigerating it for 1-2 hours.
- Be sure to stir the mixture constantly to prevent burning.
