Check out my recipe for chocolate fudge:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of chocolate chips (go for the semi-sweet)
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) - optional

Instructions:

• Grab an 8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Leave some paper hanging over the edges; it'll make your life easier later.

• In a saucepan (medium-sized), toss in the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat it up on low and stir until the chocolate and butter become one smooth consistency.

• Take the pan off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Stir it up well.

• If you're feeling nutty, add in some chopped nuts and mix until they're combined with the chocolate.

• Drop the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to make it nice and even. At this point you can layer with peanut butter fudge or any other fudge of your choice.

• Pop the pan in the fridge and let the fudge chill for about 2-3 hours so it can set.

• Once your fudge is firm, use the parchment paper handles to lift it out. Put it on a cutting board and slice it into awesome squares.

This dessert is perfect for a family gathering, last-minute craving, or just because you deserve a treat (and trust me, you do). This easy and delicious no-bake peanut butter fudge is all the sweetness without the hard work!
