Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Green or purple food coloring (to match Wicked Witch theme)
  • Festive toppings: crushed candy, edible glitter, or Halloween sprinkles

Variations (Optional)

  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (for Nutty Surprise)
  • Coconut milk and dairy-free chocolate (for Dairy-Free Delight)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon (for Spicy Kick)
  • Peppermint extract and green food coloring (for Mint Madness)
  • Caramel sauce and sea salt (for Salted Caramel Twist)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge releases effortlessly once set.
  2. Melt the Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until melted and smooth to avoid burning.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and shiny.
  4. Add Color and Mix Coloring Evenly: If you want to add that wicked green or spooky purple, now’s the time to mix in your food coloring until you achieve the ideal shade.
  5. Pour and Add Toppings: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, smooth the surface, then sprinkle your desired festive toppings evenly over the top.
  6. Chill Until Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm but still pliable.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove from the pan using the parchment paper edges and cut into bite-sized squares. Enjoy your wickedly delicious creation!

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor and texture.
  • Stir constantly while melting butter and chocolate to prevent scorching.
  • Do not skip the chilling time for perfect fudge texture.
  • Keep heat low and avoid boiling to maintain creaminess.
  • Use dry, clean bowls and utensils to avoid seizing or clumping of chocolate.
  • To cut fudge cleanly, use a sharp knife warmed with hot water and wiped dry between cuts.
  • Customize with nuts, spices, or extracts as desired before setting.
