Ingredients
Instructions
- In microwave or over stove, melt the chocolate chips and butter.
- Add the powdered sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla to the melted mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring constantly if cooked over stove.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the butter is fully melted before mixing in the powdered sugar. If you don’t have evaporated milk, you can substitute it with a mixture of regular milk and a bit of cream for added richness. Stirring constantly is crucial to prevent burning, especially if you're using a stovetop method. This fudge pairs beautifully with Elegant Fruit Combo for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving, and consider drizzling with melted chocolate or sprinkling with sea salt for an extra touch. It makes a fantastic treat alongside coffee or tea, and you can even serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. This fudge is perfect to share during gatherings or as a homemade gift.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer, you can refrigerate the fudge for a firmer texture, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. Reheat gently in the microwave if it becomes too firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate chips will give your fudge a richer and more intense flavor. You can also mix dark and milk chocolate chips for a balanced taste. Just keep in mind that dark chocolate tends to be less sweet, so adjust the sugar to your preference if needed.
How can I add flavor variations to this fudge?
You can easily customize the flavor by adding ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a pinch of sea salt. For a minty twist, consider adding peppermint extract instead of vanilla. Experimenting with different flavorings can make each batch uniquely delicious.
Is there a way to make this fudge dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil or a plant-based butter. Use dairy-free chocolate chips to maintain the recipe's integrity. Be sure to check labels to ensure all ingredients are suitable for a dairy-free diet.
