Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Fudge
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Before starting, gather your ingredients. The key to making this fudge quickly is having everything ready to go, so make sure your chocolate chips are measured out, and your can of sweetened condensed milk is opened.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate and Milk
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips with the can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir them together gently.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on medium power for 1 minute. After 1 minute, take the bowl out and give the mixture a good stir. Return the bowl to the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes, depending on your microwave.
Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it can seize up. Stirring frequently ensures the chocolate melts evenly.
