Tips & Substitutions
To ensure a smooth fudge, melt the butter over low heat and stir constantly when adding the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. If you want a nutty flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts for extra texture. For a richer taste, you can substitute the semisweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips. Make sure to line the pan with foil for easy removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chips in this fudge?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with various chips like white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even flavored chips like mint or caramel for a unique twist. Just ensure that the total amount of chips remains the same to maintain the fudge's consistency.
How do I know when the fudge is set?
The fudge is set when it is firm to the touch and holds its shape when cut. Allow it to cool completely in the pan at room temperature, which usually takes about 2-3 hours. If you are in a hurry, you can refrigerate it to speed up the setting process.
Can I freeze the fudge for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the fudge! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
