Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring (few drops, to desired color)
Optional Mix-Ins
- Crushed candy, nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts), popping candy, candy eyeballs, black sprinkles
Variations (Optional)
- For vegan version: substitute with coconut condensed milk and vegan butter
- Mint variation: add peppermint extract and small chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal and smooth fudge edges.
- Melt the Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the chocolate chips constantly until smooth and fully combined, avoiding scorching.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while stirring continuously to achieve a creamy, dense fudge texture.
- Stir in Vanilla and Food Coloring: Remove the pan from heat, then add vanilla extract. Mix in green food coloring drop by drop until you reach the desired wicked witch green shade.
- Incorporate Optional Add-Ins: Fold in any nuts, candy pieces, or other mix-ins gently to keep the fudge smooth with bursts of texture.
- Chill and Set: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Cut into bite-sized squares before serving.
Notes
- Use good-quality chocolate chips or baking chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- Stir constantly when melting to avoid lumps and burning.
- Add green food coloring gradually to control the intensity of the color.
- Bring butter and condensed milk to room temperature for a smoother blend.
- If fudge is not firm enough after chilling, refrigerate for longer to set properly.
- Use a sharp knife warmed with hot water and wiped dry to cut clean fudge pieces.
