Five-Minute Fudge in a Flash!

At the last minute I thought it would be fun to have a game night complete with popcorn, peanuts, apples and fudge. With no time to waste, I decided to give this quick fudge a try. We were pleased with the results and it certainly was fast!

Five-Minute Fudge in a Flash!

3 cups chocolate chips — I used a combo of dark, semi-sweet & milk chocolate chips

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, cubed

1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

1. Prepare an 8x8-inch pan or baking dish by lining it with foil (allowing it to overlap one ends for easily removal). Spray with pan spray or butter the foil and sides of the pan. 
2. Place chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in large (8 cup) microwaveable bowl. 
   
3. Zap in microwave on medium (50 to 70% power) until chips are melted, about 3 to 5 minute, stirring once or twice during cooking. 
4. Stir to combine ingredients. Fold in nuts.  
   
   
   
   
   Although I bought this Danish Dough Whisk for breads, 
   it was the perfect tool for blending the fudge mixture.  
5. Pour into prepare dish and refrigerate until set—at least about an hour,
6. When set, grab edges of foil to remove fudge from pan. Cut into squares. 
   
   
   
   
7. Store in an airtight container. Fudge does not need to be refrigerated but stays firmed if refrigerated.
