The holidays are upon us and in our house, holidays mean goodies! I may be jumping the gun just a tiny bit but I want to make sure I have time to share all of my favorites.
This recipe has been a favorite in my house for many years. I think my mom originally got it off of a product label, but I'm not sure. (We memorized it the first year and never looked back!) The variations, however, are entirely mine.
So, without further ado, here it is!
Super Easy No-Cook Fudge
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Melt chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl for a couple of minutes- stirring after every 30 seconds just until melted and smooth. Quickly stir in the milk and then the nuts. Spread the mixture in the bottom of a foil-lined and greased 8x8 inch pan. Chill for a couple of hours. Cut it into pieces and leave out for an hour or so. (This step will keep the pieces from sticking together when stored. Of course, if you live in my house, the fudge won't make it past the first hour after I make it!)
