How to Make 4 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Fudge

  1. Line an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the fudge out later.
  2. **Conventional Method:** In a double boiler (or heat-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water), combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir frequently until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in chopped nuts and vanilla extract.
  4. **Microwave Method:** In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on 50% power for 3-minute intervals, stirring twice during microwaving and once at the end, until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in chopped nuts and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm. For easier removal, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil or parchment paper overhang.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
