Instructions
Tips & Notes
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly. Overheated chocolate fudge turns grainy and oily, and the condensed milk can scorch on the bottom of the pan.
- For a deeper dark chocolate flavor, use half semisweet and half 60-70% bittersweet chips. Chips that are all very dark can make the fudge set too firm.
- Cut the chilled fudge with a long knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry for clean, glossy edges.
