Quick & Easy Fudge: Great Gift Idea

 It's Yummy, It's  Quick, and It's Easy!



Fudge goes along with the Happiness component of my blog.  In no shape, form or fashion is it Healthy!  It makes me smile and I sure do love it.  This is so easy and fun to make.  Have your kids join in on the fun.  It is delicious and quite addicting.  You have to live a little right?  Right!  I love homemade gifts, especially ones from the kitchen.



Ingredients:

3 cups of chocolate chips or any rich chocolate you like
1 can Sweetened Condensed milk
1/2 stick of butter
Nuts and marshmallows optional.
splash vanilla

In a glass bowl over boiling water ( double broiler) add chocolate chips and condensed milk.  Stir to keep from burning.  Once melted, add butter and vanilla.  Stir all together, make sure it is getting think and creamy and make sure not to burn it. ( you can also do this in the microwave.  I like it better on the cooktop)

line a 8x8 baking dish with foil and lightly butter it.  Pour the fudge into the pan.  I add one side of nuts, and the other side with marshmallows.  I press the ingredients quickly into the fudge before it sets up to much.

put in fridge for several hours or overnight.  I then take it and peel the foil off the back and cut into bite size pieces.  DELISH! You and your family will go crazy for this fudge!






I firmly press the nuts and marshmallows into the top of the fudge here instead of mixing it in.   That is so I don't have to divide the batches.  I'm all about less clean up!



Get some mason jars and fill them up.

Isn't this a pretty little treasure?
Serve it up…Lizzy style! With a big fat bow!


Great teacher gifts!
