  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 can Carnation milk

  6. Pour into a greased pan.
  7. Refrigerate until set.

Tips & Substitutions

For a smoother fudge, ensure your butter or margarine is fully softened before mixing with the other ingredients. If you prefer a different flavor, consider substituting half of the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips. To make the fudge even richer, add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of espresso powder. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature for perfect results.

Serving Suggestions

Cut the fudge into small squares for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside English Muffin Bread(For Bread Machine) for a unique dessert platter. Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel on top for extra flair.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it. To reheat, gently warm pieces in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until just soft, being careful not to melt it completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of chocolate for this fudge?

What can I do if my fudge doesn't set?

If your fudge doesn't set, it might be because the mixture didn't reach the right temperature. You can try re-cooking it by adding a little more sugar and bringing it back to a boil for a few minutes, then pour it back into a greased pan to set again.
