If you want an easy plain fudge recipe, simply follow this recipe, omitting the mints or peppermint ingredients, or use a mix of chocolate types. Terribly easy.

Ingredients:

1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk

Two pinches Kosher or Seasalt

Bag of either: Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers, Dark Choco-Chips, Dark Chocolate Barque or some Dark Chocolate Bars

Peppermint Extract to tastes (1 to 2 tsps +/-)

1 Tsp Vanilla Flavoring or Extract (use to tastes)

Preparation:

Lightly spray a baking pan with butter flavor spray. Lay in parchment paper. Lightly spray the paper with butter spray, set aside.

In a heavy bottom pot, warm sweetened condensed milk on lowest heat setting. Add salt, stir in. Stir in chocolates, extracts or flavorings, stir in well. Use lowest heat setting.

Keep stirring until all the ingredients are completely melted, well combined and smooth.

Pour immediately into prepared baking pan. With a spatula, smooth and spread mixture evenly in pan. Add sprinkles or broken peppermints over the top if desired, slightly press into the warm fudge. Allow to cool covered in the fridge for a minimum of two hours, overnight is the best.

Turn out set fudge onto a cutting board or parchmet paper, carefully cut into bite sizes. Store in an aitight container at room temperature.

I began making this version of fudge in 1981, it's incredibly easy and quick to make. Perfect for when guests are coming and you need something right away for them.

A couple of teaspoons of real dairy butter can be melted into everything at the start, that's preference, not a necessity, but it will enhance the flavor!

Enjoy!
