How to make 4 Ingredient Fudge
Step 1 – Layer an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with an 8 x 12 inch piece of parchment paper.
Step 2- Spray non-stick spray on the part of the paper that stays inside the pan, not the extra flaps.
Step 3 – In a medium sauce pan, add the chocolate chips and the condensed milk, and butter.
Step 4- Turn the heat on to low heat and melt the chocolate. Use a spatula and stir very often to evenly melt the chocolate until it is smooth.
Step 5- Quickly pour it into the prepared pan and spread it out flat.
Step 6 – Place the M&M candies on top and press them down just a little. (You can also mix them into the fudge before pouring it into the pan.)
Step 7 – Set aside to cool down to room temperature.
Step 8 – Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to completely set.
Step 9 – Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan and use a sharp knife to cut it into desired size.
Pro tips
For the best texture and flavor allow the fudge to cool completely and chill in the fridge until completely set.
