A Few Tips to Make Sure your Homemade Chocolate Fudge Turns Out Fabulous

~ Prep the pan before you start making the fudge. I like to grease a 9-inch square pan and then line it with wax paper. It will make it easier to cut the fudge once it’s set up.

~ Microwave the chips in one-minute intervals to soften them a bit. You don’t want to microwave them too long as they can burn even in the microwave.

Yes, I was impatient once and it happened to me. Don’t be like me, run the microwave for 1 minute at a time and check.

~ After microwaving the chips about 2 minutes add the sweetened condensed milk. I like to warm the chips a bit before adding the milk. It helps to keep me from scorching the chips.

~ Stir well to get the vanilla chips really mixed in with the chocolate chips and milk. You don’t want any streaks of white.

~ Once your fudge is a creamy and smooth add the chopped almonds and quickly pour into the prepared pan. Let it set up until firm and then cut into squares.

~ Store in an airtight container.
