- Stir until smooth and well combined.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, consider using half milk chocolate chips and half dark chocolate chips. You can also substitute the Eagle Brand milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of instant coffee granules. Make sure to keep an eye on the fudge in the microwave to prevent overheating.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For an extra touch, top the fudge with a sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle melted chocolate over the pieces. This fudge also makes a delightful addition to gift baskets or as a treat alongside Sara'S Watergate Strawberry Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate it where it can last for up to two weeks. If you want to reheat the fudge, place it in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until it softens, then stir to regain its creamy texture.
