Make this rich, creamy, dark chocolate fudge using only three ingredients. It is a perfect make-ahead dessert gift for spring occasions like graduation or thank-yous.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Place the sweetened condensed milk and both types of chocolate chips in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat immediately once smooth.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares for your dessert gifts.

Notes

  • For a polished presentation, place the fudge squares in small cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon for a ready-made thank-you favor.
  • You can substitute the dark chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter profile.
  • This easy candy sets up well, making it ideal for preparing several days before you need it.
