I've been making fudge like this for years, it was on an Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk can.

Be very careful about microwaving chocolate. It can get crunchy crispy or dried out or... Wellll, something goes wrong...if you don't take it out and stir the melting hot parts around to distribute heat every ten seconds or so. I didn't know that because I never had to do it when I was heating chocolate in a double boiler on the rangetop so soon. I thought 45 seconds or one minute would do but...alas and alack, it did something else! I ruined some fine chocolate that day ... it actually got burnt!

Even if she outright states it's an ad in this video, it starts to feel a little blurry. I watch youtube to get away from the intense commercials of television and hearing her cite taglines for chocolate chips while cooking with them in a whole video dedicated to them feels off. Just one big commercial.

Almost instant gifts, already wrapped and ready to go

Love fudge, keep all kinds of recipes

Look so good, I like the colour after melting

My mother used to make this type of fudge, then pack it into open, metal, holiday cookie cutters. Once they set, she'd put each one in a fancy cellophane bag, tie the top with some curly ribbon, then tuck in some tiny bit of decoration (an evergreen sprig, a snowflake cutout, a tiny silver bell, etc). Later after Mom was no longer with us, I started making them myself. They were the *cutest* little "extra gifts" or party favors, and always a big hit :)

This is the recipe I have been making for years! I would double the recipe and put it in my 9X13 plan, lined with parchment paper. I would trim off the ends, as they were rounded due to my pan. Those would be the snacking pieces for me, my husband and son. They started called them fudge butts. I would cut them, put them in mini cupcake liners and put them in small boxes-8 pieces to a box. They made excellent gifts!

I have made this recipe for years; my favorite is to put raspberry extract in it. So good! Ghirardelli FTW!

Or I just sprinkle on some chopped peppermint candy canes, pecans, walnuts, peanuts or hazelnuts. I make a peanut butter 'fudge' as well. I sometimes cut a square of plain fudge and peanut butter fudge and eat them together. I could never choose which was my favorite marriage of flavors. Mint/Chocolate or peanut butter/ chocolate.

I would advise melting butter into your sweetened condensed milk in the microwave. It adds a nice flavor (everything's better with butter) and putting the condensed milk in the microwave at 30 second intervals carmalizes it just a tad which adds another nice flavor!

So cool when a solid is melted, then starts to cool and starts to become a solid again

Ok I'm definitely doing this for Thanksgiving and maybe Christmas as well. I love the three different toppings. These would look amazing on a holiday dinner table! ❤️🎄

@@chloe_the_cat2831 so I just did it with half evaporated milk and it becomes more of a "no flour chocolate cake" texture & less of a fudge texture, so I think the difference definitely matters! It's good that you asked because evaporated milk is typically more runny and of course less sweet. It's still super yummy and I think if I wanted it completely solid and fudgy I'd definitely use only condensed milk next time. Condensed milk almost always has sugar so if you want it less sweet I'd use baking chocolate chips with high cacao content and no sugar added which may help to control for sugar levels! Super good.

You can substitute sugar in most recipes for 1.3x the weight of the sugar as erythritol (and you can also add a small amount of stevia in too.) Look at recipes like this and see if you can make homemade versions of the high-sugar ingredients - you can make a condensed milk substitute with milk powder very easily and with erythritol you can make it diabetic-friendly. Xylose is supposed to be the gold standard for sugar substitutes, although it's only low carbs and not _no_ carb, because it has the same flavor profile and it caramelizes and does all the other things you'd expect from sugar without any weird flavors or unusual quirks.
