Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider substituting half of the semi-sweet chocolate with dark chocolate. If you don’t have Eagle Brand milk, sweetened condensed milk works well as a substitute. Be careful to stir continuously while melting to prevent burning. Adding a pinch of espresso powder can enhance the chocolate flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for this fudge?
Absolutely! You can experiment with white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even flavored chocolate chips. Just remember to balance the sweetness if you choose a sweeter chocolate.
