Mix-in ideas below
Instructions
Place the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
Place in the microwave and cook in short 30-second intervals, stirring after each cooking interval. It should take about 2 minutes for it to melt. Be careful not to overcook! If there are still lumps, continue to cook until it is smooth.
This chocolate fudge sets fast so pour into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 9 pan, spreading it evenly. If using, sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Cover and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes and then transfer to the refrigerator to continue to set up.
When ready to cut into squares, use a sharp knife. You may dip the knife in a glass of hot water to make it slide easier through the fudge.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. This fudge doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Notes
I prefer to use 1 1/3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips.Watch for Overheating: Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate.
